There are hundreds of farm sanctuaries across the country doing fantastic work, and who have the infrastructure in place to take on more residents but who, at times, lack the funding needed to bring in new residents. We think there’s an incredible opportunity to combine the fundraising work of Loveland with the operations of these existing sanctuaries to roll out a collective effort to bring more animals out of harm’s way and into a safe environment.
On July 14th, we kicked off our summer fundraising efforts with a big splash. Our inaugural Party in The Park event was a family-friendly day in the sun at the Silverado District Regional Park in Silverado, CA and it was a major success all around!
Welcome to 2018 - it's a new year and a fresh beginning for everyone, including LFS as we set out to achieve some important goals over the next 12 months. But first, let's take a look at the high-level results of 2017 and what we were able to achieve last year together – with your help.

Hope you're all off to an excellent start to 2019 so far. As we close out the year and look at our efforts for 2018, we're thrilled to report on our financial results for the past 12 months. Going into 2018, we had $32,700 raised to date from the generosity of the community since our inception in 2015. Today, we now have $42,800 for LFS, raising over $10,000 in 2018!
We have no words for how amazing the Animal Rights Natl. Conference hosted by @farmusa was this past weekend. The buzz in this place; the energy of all the attendees, speakers, exhibitors, conference staff and volunteers; the generosity of everyone who stopped by our booth and who donated to all the other worthy causes... it blows our mind how amazing the vegan and animal rights community is, especially when we are all working together for a mission that is greater than ourselves.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the devoted moms around the world who give so much heart and soul to their babies and families. You are the unsung heroes that extend love from one generation to the next. Not to be overlooked, we wish to also acknowledge the millions of non-human animal moms who heartbreakingly never get the chance to nurture and care for their offspring due to a cruel, outdated food system that profits off of mass producing then ripping families apart.
✨We had a fabulous day yesterday at VegFest LA! 🌴☀️🌱 In addition to meeting some fantastic, like-minded people who see animals as being here with us rather than for us, we were able to raise $730 for the future residents of LFS - thanks to some incredibly generous supporters!
Our field trip to Farm Sanctuary's Animal Acres was a success! We chartered 18 people by bus up to Acton on Sunday to see the property and spend a couple of hours with their rescued animals. The tour was informative and educational on the atrocities of the animal agricultural industry, while also recognizing the individual stories of the residents who were fortunate enough to escape the grim fate that so many others are subjected to just by being born into a very corrupt and broken food system.
