Dear John,

Each and every day, kindhearted supporters like you help us rescue, care for, and advocate for vulnerable farm animals. That’s why I am excited to invite you to participate in our biggest celebration of the year — World Farm Animals Day.

World Farm Animals Day is October 2, but we’re commemorating the occasion early by kicking off Farm Sanctuary’s sixth annual Giving Day.

This year, we’ve set a goal of raising enough funds to provide 300,000 nutritious meals for the cows, pigs, sheep, turkeys, goats, chickens, and other rescued farm animal residents at our Sanctuaries.

John, you don’t have to wait until October 2 to show your appreciation for farm animals. Join Farm Sanctuary with a generous Giving Day gift today to help us reach our ambitious goal and keep all of our animal residents safe, warm, and well-fed this fall and beyond!

And when you join as a member, you will also receive exclusive access to Farm Sanctuary’s member magazine, early opportunities to book accommodations at our New York shelter, breaking news about upcoming legislation and urgent rescues, and invitations to take action and speak out on behalf of farm animals.

Each of the nearly 800 animal residents at Farm Sanctuary has their own personality, needs, and favorite foods! And whether it’s providing hay for grazing animals like cows, produce for pigs and chickens, or seeds and pellets for turkeys, a little goes a long way:

In addition to ensuring that all of our rescued residents have the individualized care and attention they need to thrive, your Giving Day gift will support our rescue, education, and advocacy efforts so that more abused and neglected farm animals have the chance to find sanctuary.

World Farm Animals Day is a special day of appreciation for some of the most abused animals on Earth. I hope you’ll help us make this a big day for farm animals and ensure we can continue answering the call for help whenever they need us.

Will you make an early Giving Day donation today to kickstart our efforts and help Farm Sanctuary fund 300,000 meals?

Farm animals don’t have a lot of friends in their corner. Thank you for your consistent love and support.

Yours for farm animals,

Gene Baur
President and Co-founder

P.S. In the animal agriculture industry, farm animals are treated as mere commodities — not as the unique individuals we know them to be. Please make a special Giving Day gift today to help keep our nearly 800 shelter residents safe and well-fed — and to advocate for the countless farm animals who still need our help.
