Helping supplement rescue food resources & working to eliminate food waste.
Some Facts
01
Over 70,000 animals in rescues in Oregon
From parrots to cows, Oregon has a lot of rescue animals. Most think of cats and dogs, but more types of animals need our help. (Per ASPCA data.)
02
12.2 million pounds of food waste per week in Oregon
Every week, Oregon throws out over 12 million pounds of food. That is only from homes and does not include businesses.
03
Farm animals eat a lot of food in a year
A chicken is one of the lowest consumers at only 78 lbs./year. Most farm animals eat 2-4% of their body weight a day.
Support Farm Rescue Animals in Need
You can help local rescues get the food they need by donating. We pick up, transport, and deliver food to 3 sanctuaries currently during our event, but hope to expand to more sanctuaries and more often as we find volunteers and sources of funding.
Come Join Us!
We need volunteers who can pick up food and drive it to sanctuaries. You might even get to feed some friends!

Frequently Asked Questions
Why farm animals?
Eventually we would like to feed all animals, but we are starting with farm animals. The need a lot of food, and feed prices have skyrocketed.
Where do my monetary donations go?
Currently they go to gas, promotional materials, and other expenditures connected with making food pickup and delivery work. Long term there will be a percentage set aside to pay admin staff so that we can keep the food coming!
Are you a 501(c)(3)?
Not yet! We are a brand new nonprofit, and going to apply for our 501(c)(3) after The Great Pumpkin Drive 2024.
Are you applying for grants?
Yes, we are. We are still new, and not having our 501(c)(3) status yet does hinder what we can apply for currently.
