HELP US

The cost of running the Useless Animal Farm Sanctuary is approximately $25,000 per year. We plan 2 fundraisers each year plus a tour of the farm. All other income is generated by donations, memberships and miscellaneous mini benefits. Typically, sanctuary income covers half the cost and the Spear family contributes the balance. If you or your organization would like to organize a fundraiser to benefit the sanctuary, we would be very grateful.

Fundraiser - Donkey Dung Bingo is planned for December 17th. A 50/50 game and fundraiser - 50% of the proceeds go to the winner(s) and 50% to the sanctuary. The Game: 500 squares (3' X 6') are available. A completed entry form plus a $10 donation (for each reserved square) is mailed to Useless Animal Farm Sanctuary Inc. before December 16th. We randomly draw your square ID#(s) and mail you the information. On December 17th, 3 donkeys are released into a pasture (with 500 squares) for 4 hours, to mark the winning squares! The game can be observed from Silver Lake Rd. We will post the winning numbers in front of the sanctuary and on our website. Winners will also be contacted ASAP. The Entry Form: Using our mailing list, we do a "snail mail" mailing 1 month before the event which includes an updated brochure and a Donkey Dung Bingo entry form. Both are also available at: our website www.uselessanimalfarm.org , Country Feed Store (Reid Street), Tractor Supply (SR19), Putnam Feed Store (SR20), One Stop Custom Carts (Reid St.), next to the Sanctuary gate (SR20). Note: Entry Form Below !

First Annual Yard Sale Benefit

December 3 (8-3) & December 4 (8-12)

Thank you Denise Gibson for organizing this fundraiser! She has reserved the property across from the sanctuary on SR 20 (South side), planned advertising and purchased a large reusable banner. If you have items to donate and/or would like to help, please contact Denise Gibson #386-684-3767.

Antique Show Fundraisers...You Can Help!

Curious to see if an Antique Show could generate sanctuary income, the Spear's donated from their personal horde to sell at the Putnam County Historical Society's Antique Show (October 22 & 23) at the Armory. All proceeds benefited the farm.

We're happy to report the show generated a $400 income for the sanctuary! We believe a few shows each year would be great "mini-fundraisers". If you wish to donate appropriate items, they would be greatly appreciated.

Storage and labor is a problem so we couldn't accept large items. Most antique shows prefer merchandise from the 1950's or earlier however, there are exceptions. You would receive a tax deductible receipt for your donations. Please feel free to contact us with questions and/or if you wish to donate. Call Ode: 386-325-8289 (leave message)

Annual Patrons Tour of the Farm (February or March) - By invitation only, this 4 hour event is free and is our way to say thank you to our patrons and neighbors for their support. The Tour, refreshments and door prizes make for a fun afternoon. The past 2 years we have required our guests to tour the sanctuary in golf carts (supplied by One Stop Custom Carts.) However, many were disappointed by the limitations and having to wait in line. We plan to outline a path for walkers next year with optional golf carts. If you would like to receive an invitation, we would be happy to add you to our mailing list. Please mail or email your mailing information and make note "Patrons Tour of the Farm" or " Please add to mailing list." Note: Supporters are automatically mailed invitations.

Fundraiser - Hollywood Beach Tower Beach Vacation Raffle is promoted for one month (April-May) by mailing details and raffle tickets to all patrons. We also place information and tickets in may local businesses. The drawing is held in early May allowing the winners 1 month to plan their "one week vacation for 4" on the beautiful Hollywood Beach in South Florida (valued at $1100!) We also award a nice prize to the person selling the winning ticket!
