Dear John,

Tomorrow is a big day for farm animals!

October 2 is both World Farm Animals Day and Farm Sanctuary’s annual Giving Day. And we have set an ambitious goal of raising enough funds to provide 300,000 meals for our nearly 1,000 shelter residents by midnight tomorrow.

While I am confident we can pull it off thanks to the incredible commitment and support of kindhearted friends like you, it would be great to have a head start.

And to help us get it, a group of good friends has come forward with a generous offer: TODAY ONLY, they will match all gifts, dollar-for-dollar, up to $20,000!

John, will you join Farm Sanctuary with an early Giving Day donation to help provide nourishing food for our Sanctuary residents? Every dollar you give today will go twice as far.

We have been humbled by the incredible outpouring of support we’ve received since our Giving Day campaign began. Every gift provides more nutritious meals for our rescued cows, pigs, sheep, turkeys, goats, chickens, and other animals—many of whom require specialized diets due to the abuse and neglect they experienced before coming to Farm Sanctuary.

Now, with this one-day matching gift opportunity, we have a great chance to reach our goal tomorrow and provide all of those 300,000 meals.

Can we count on your help, John? Please join Farm Sanctuary and make tomorrow’s Giving Day gift today so it can be matched and go twice as far. When you become a member, you will receive great benefits including a free subscription to our member magazine, opportunities to sign petitions and speak out for farm animals, special alerts with breaking news about legislation regarding farm animals, updates on urgent rescues, and more.

Your Giving Day gift means more healthy, delicious meals for the amazing farm animals who call our shelters home. It means more soft straw bedding for the cold winter months. It means support for the specialized veterinary care that gives wounded and traumatized animals a second chance at the lives they deserve.

Your generosity also gives us the ability to rescue abused and abandoned farm animals, knowing that we have the resources we need to fill their bellies, heal their wounds, and help them become the happy and free creatures they were born to be.

And it helps countless farm animals beyond our shelters—sustaining our vital humane education programs and our advocacy for stronger legal protections for animals suffering in factory farms, stockyards, and slaughterhouses.

Everything Farm Sanctuary does to care for our shelter animals—and to protect and improve the lives of farm animals across the country—is made possible by the love and support of caring friends like you.

That’s why I am looking to you to help us make our special Giving Day campaign a success. Please take advantage of this limited-time opportunity to provide DOUBLE the meals for farm animals in need by joining Farm Sanctuary with a generous Giving Day donation TODAY.

Thank you for helping us reach our goal and continue all of our lifesaving work for farm animals.

Yours truly,

Megan Watkins
Chief Executive Officer

P.S. In addition to joining Farm Sanctuary today so your membership gift can go twice as far, please consider celebrating World Farm Animals Day with a compassionate, plant-based meal. Even small steps like these can add up to big changes for farm animals everywhere.
