2024 Hay Fundraiser

Our animals need your help! We have nearly 300 formerly abused and neglected farm animals at Hope & Serenity Farm Sanctuary. For their most basic needs (base quality hay), we need approximately 350 bales per month and we’re running out. Can you help us get our animals to the next hay cutting in spring?

Did you know?

  • Horses and Donkeys: On average, these animals should consume about 1.5% to 3% of its body weight in hay per day. This means that a 1000-pound horse would eat approximately 15 to 30 pounds of hay daily; for a 400-pound donkey that’s 6 pounds per day.

  • Goats: Goats typically eat about 2% to 4% of their body weight in hay per day. For instance, a 100-pound goat would consume approximately 2 to 4 pounds of hay daily.

  • Sheep: Similar to goats, sheep also consume about 2% to 4% of their body weight in hay per day. Therefore, a 150-pound sheep would eat roughly 3 to 6 pounds of hay daily.

Fundraising Goal:

$21,000

700 bales of hay

We have nearly 300 formerly abused and neglected farm animals at Hope & Serenity Farm Sanctuary. For their most basic needs (base quality hay), we need approximately 350 bales per month.

At $30 per bale with our local supplier, that means we need $21,000 to make it to the next hay cutting in May.

Every bit helps, even if that means just sharing this on social media!
