A Tough Winter Without You
Written By: Kathleen Bub - Forever Farm | Issue: 2017/01 - Winter
Winter is upon us in the mountains of Western North Carolina. The impending snow and ice can make for a beautiful scene at the Friends for Life Forever Farm.
Unfortunately, it also makes for more work and higher utility costs as well. It’s when we need your help the most. Many of our volunteers have departed for warmer climes, and charitable giving diminishes in the new year. We are left with over 170 animals to feed, house, and care for in often harsh conditions.
To borrow a saying used by utility companies, “share the warmth.” Consider donating funds towards our electric and gas bills. With three large buildings and 12 cottages to heat, our utility bills often run more than $1,000 dollars a month in the winter.
Friends for Life is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization whose mission is to rescue and rehabilitate senior and special needs animals. Those that are not adopted into new homes are provided lifelong care at the Forever Farm, a cage-free, homelike sanctuary in Lake Toxaway. A separate facility, the Joseph E. Pickelsimer Center, provides nursing care and hospice for our cats and dogs as they near the end of their lives.
Please consider a tax-deductible donation to help further our mission. For more information call (829) 508-2460 or email [email protected]. Visit friendsforlifeforeverfarm.org and follow us on Facebook. Our mailing address is P.O. Box 340, Sapphire, NC 28774.
