Back to School Hay Drive

🚌🎒 Back to School Hay Drive: Help Us Fill the Bus with Hay!

As kids head back to school, we’re loading up our own supply list: HAY! Hay to prepare for the cold months ahead.

We’re raising $19,000 to stockpile enough hay to feed and warm the 400+ rescued residents of Outsiders Farm & Sanctuary all winter long. That’s hundreds of bales needed for pigs, cows, goats, and more who rely on hay not just for food—but for insulation, bedding, and comfort

Goal Benchmarks:

1. $6000:  Covers Winter Hay for the Cows  ---- COMPLETED! THANK YOU!
2. $12,000: Covers Pig & Goat Hay - COMPLETED! THANK YOU!
3. $19,000: Covers Straw used for bedding all winter to keep the animals safe and warm.

And this year, we're doing it in style—with the help of our real, 40-foot vintage Bluebird International School Bus, now being transformed into our official hay storage barn-on-wheels!

💙 Here’s the Cool Part:
