Feed Bin Fundraiser for Full Belly Farm

Help us purchase a feed bin so that we can buy food in bulk and cut our animal feed costs almost in half!

Full Belly Farm has been rescuing animals since 2016 and became an official 501c3 nonprofit in 2020.  We have committed to providing forever sanctuary to the 50 animals that reside here.  We rarely do large fundraisers or ask for more than a small donation or sponsorship.  With the increasing cost of materials, we have to look at long term operating costs and see where we can improve the budget, without sacrificing quality of care for the animals.  Many animal sanctuaries have struggled to be sustainable.   Our goal is to never ask for more than what we need and to not take on more than we can care for.

We have price shopped and crunched numbers and have decided it is time to look at purchasing a grain bin.   The best price we found is $4,000 for a 5 ton bin.  This would allow us to buy animal food in bulk at $345/ton, which would cut our feed bill substantially!  

Also, not having to pickup and unload 50lb bags of food on a regular basis would save time and energy that could be better spent with the animals.  

We currently buy 14 bags of food every 10-14 days.  Each 50lb bag is $13.50.  We go through 1 bag a day for the 37 pigs at the sanctuary.  We can cut this cost down to $8.75/day with a feed bin.

Our first delivery of food would be $1155.00 for 3 tons, which is why we are hoping to get enough donations to cover the cost of the bin and the 1st food delivery.

Any amount you can donate, will be extremely helpful and appreciated!  We know this may take some time to raise enough donations.  Please share and spread the word on what we do!
