Special Needs Animal Sanctuary
Written By: Kathleen Bub - Forever Farm | Issue: 2017/06 - June
Caring for almost 200 animals at the Friends for Life Forever Farm is quite a challenge, and raising the funds to do so is no easy task.
Payroll is the largest item in the budget, followed by veterinary care, food, supplies, and general overhead items such as utilities and insurance. We depend primarily on the generous donations of our supporters to make ends meet.
In addition to cash and in-kind donations, another way to help our mission is by supporting our Friends for Life Treasure Shop, located in Brevard just off Broad Street (US 64) in the Four Seasons Plaza. This upscale resale shop brings in significant funds to support the animals at the Forever Farm.
There are two ways to support the Treasure Shop. You can donate items that you are ready to retire such as household furnishings, artwork, collectibles, jewelry, and boutique clothing. And, of course, spend some time at the shop and you may find that unique item you have been searching for. Being run by volunteers, all net funds go to help our senior and special needs animals. The Treasure Shop is open Monday through Saturday 10:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M.
Friends for Life is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization operating the Forever Farm, a sanctuary in Lake Toxaway for senior and special needs animals, and the Pickelsimer Center in Rosman, dedicated to animal nursing care and hospice. All donations of funds, or items for the Treasure Shop, are tax deductible. For
