$5 FRIDAY PICK #22
Hope Haven Farm Sanctuary
Pittsburgh, PA
If you’re searching for a place to park your money to benefit rescued animals, Hope Haven is the sanctuary. After a thorough review of their financials, social media, and humane education program, and interviews with their leadership team and volunteers, Hope Haven became an easy selection for a $5 Friday pick. With an annual budget of only $30,000, this all-volunteer team cares for 140 animals! That’s impressive! The founder is also a vet and donates her medical services. But, they need our help to sustain and grow their sanctuary. Let’s show these animal heroes how much we appreciate everything they do!
Here are a few reasons why you should consider making a $5 donation to Hope Haven Farm Sanctuary.
