You did it! You helped Hercules’ Haven cross the 2020 finish line.
Happy New Year to You, friends, fans, supporters, and volunteers. You were with us when we welcomed new rescues. You mourned when residents crossed the rainbow bridge. You mobilized when a storm devastated the property. You sustained us when Covid restrictions cancelled fundraising events. It takes a village to run a farm sanctuary, and thanks to You we have a global village. Thank you for being part of our community.
As the year closes, we hope you will consider making a “Year End Gift” to Hercules’ Haven. Your gifts will help the Haven grow a kinder and more empathetic world. The impact is real! Your gifts MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Farewell 2020 and welcome 2021!

We promise in 2021, with your support, we will save many more lives. We will continue our efforts to educate the public about animal cruelty and factory farming atrocities. We will continue to advocate for a more compassionate cruelty free way of life. We will welcome groups from all walks of life including those who are underprivileged and who suffer from mental illness, and different cognitive and physical challenges. We need YOUR help. Let’s enter the year 2021 with a positive VIBE! Your gift today will help us welcome 2021 with the confidence we need to save more lives!
