Walk for Farm Animals (nationwide)
Please join us as we hit the streets to raise awareness and send a strong message of compassion and hope for farm animals. We’ve been walking for more than 20 years and the event just keeps growing. In 2009, there were 67 Walks, and more than 3,600 people participated in Walks throughout the U.S. and Canada. Won’t you be a part of this important event?

Celebrations for the Turkeys (CA & NY Shelters)
Give the turkeys at Farm Sanctuary something to be thankful for by joining them at this year’s Celebration FOR the Turkeys, at which our feathered friends are the guests of honor. Attendees will enjoy speaker presentations, mouth-watering vegan meals, and our very special Feeding of the Turkeys Ceremony, when we honor the birds with their own feast of stuffed squash, pumpkin pie and cranberries.
