Maple Farm Sanctuary (MFS) is a non-profit sanctuary in Mendon, Massachusetts, that rescues and provides a lifelong home for abused and unwanted farm animals. We currently have more than 100 animal residents, including cows, pigs, goats, llamas, chickens, geese, and ducks.As the cold weather approaches, MFS is in desperate need of funds to help us prepare for the winter. As usual, we must purchase multiple trailer loads of hay to feed the animals as well as shavings to serve as soft bedding.This year, we also need to make several critical repairs to our barns to ensure that the animals stay safe and warm as temperatures drop. MFS was previously a third-generation working farm, and many of our buildings are getting old and worn down.As you can see in the video above, your support is very much needed and will go a long way for so many animals at MFS.

MFS provides a lifelong home for abused and abandoned farm animals and also strives to cultivate local interaction through community outreach while advancing a universal message of peace, compassion, and respect for all animals.Here are some of the many animals your support will help:
