“Tell me what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”
Why our haven needs you.
Volunteer.
Volunteers are the foundation upon which movements of change happen. In the words of leadership consultant Dr. Ken Blanchard, “vision comes alive when everyone sees where his or her contribution makes a difference.” Ultimately any action you take to help improve the lives of farm animals helps see our vision through. Find out about volunteer opportunities by connecting with us. Live out of town? We partner with local bed and breakfast The Bowman House so that our volunteers can feel at home while away from home.
Sponsor.
By sponsoring one of our animals you save a life. A monthly commitment will provide the support a rescued farm animal needs to thrive at our haven. Each of our rescues is a survivor with a story to share, a past that has been overcome, and a future of which you can take part.
Donate.
When you donate to Gentle Acres not only do you help us ensure the best care for the animals on our farm, but you contribute to furthering our mission of creating a more compassionate world.
Eat plant based.
By choosing to eat a plant-based diet you can help decrease greenhouse gas emissions by over 50%. Meat Free Mondays is just one way to begin the process of changing your diet and the easiest way to start changing the world.
Take action for animals.
State and federal legislation, ballot initiatives, corporate and consumer outreach, petitions from caring citizens like you… all of this is how we make change. Visit Farm Sanctuary’s Action Center to join the movement.
