“Do you take donations of food for the animals?”

 

WE SURE DO!

– Bagged feed can be donated directly by either dropping it off, or by calling Buckerfield’s in Duncan at 1-250-748-8171.  Be sure to provide them with a name and mailing information.  The feed we use most is called Step 4 and you can purchase it over the phone and have it added onto our account, just tell them it’s for RASTA Sanctuary.  Please send us an email with your name and address at RastaAssistant@gmail.com to let us know how much feed has been ordered so we can be sure to go and pick it up and can get a tax receipt in the mail!

– We also have a donation bin where food can be dropped off at the front of the sanctuary.  The following however are extremely important instructions…

• All fruit and vegetable donations must be pesticide free.  We cannot take anything that has been sprayed with any substance.

• We cannot take fruit and vegetables that would not be fit for human consumption.  Just because the animals here are not human, does not mean they want to eat rotten fruit and vegetables.  Please inspect the food you are donating, and if you wouldn’t eat it, please compost it.  We will just have to throw it out, and we don’t need extra work 🙂

• ALL donations dropped off at the sanctuary must have contact information attached to them.  We cannot take anonymous donations.

• Please respect that dropping off food is not an invitation for a tour.  If we are around, we may say hi, but in general we are out and about at the sanctuary, in the office, or running errands.  If you have business with us aside from dropping off your donation, please contact us to make arrangements at RastaAssistant@gmail.com.
