We’ve donated $70,795 to
farm sanctuaries
on $5 Fridays.
That’s fantastic news!
Special thanks to every compassionate animal advocate who has participated.
You’ve made a huge difference.
This week’s $5 Friday pick is
Skylands Animal Sanctuary & Rescue
in Wantage, New Jersey.
The all-volunteer Skylands Animal Sanctuary & Rescue provides a safe home to approximately 100 farmed animals, including 22 cows. This new sanctuary offers 232 acres of protection for victims and survivors of the animal agriculture industry. The team rescues many large animals that smaller sanctuaries can’t accommodate. The sanctuary founder goes to extraordinary lengths to rescue animals in need, recently driving 800 miles in an ice storm to rescue a calf. Visitors and volunteers alike told me this sanctuary is a paradise for rescued animals and that it is forever changing people’s eating habits to leave animals off their plates through their tours and massive social media impact.
The sanctuary is very responsible with donations, even growing much of it’s own hay to keep costs down. But, feed and medical care costs can be intense with each new rescue. The sanctuary needs our help to build a dedicated hay barn to safely store the hay they grow, cover medial costs, and grow their robust humane education program promoting vegan eating and compassion for all animals. Skylands is a special sanctuary with unlimited potential that will continue to grow with our help. If we all give a little, it will add up to a lot and make a huge difference for rescued farmed animals. Thank you!
Hopefully these rescued faces at Skylands will inspire you to support this deserving all-volunteer organization.
Let’s make today the best day ever for our animal heroes at Skylands!

I made a recurring $5 per month donation to Skylands Animal Sanctuary and Rescue. Things have been tough for me recently in many ways, but seeing the photos and videos that Mike puts up from time to time brings me a lot of happiness. I know that it will be put to good use, I can tell that everyone at Skylands is really dedicated to the well being of the animals, so I’m glad to have this opportunity, thanks. Thank you for all that you do, keep spreading the vegan message, I hope to see the sanctuary in person some time soon.
