Your VegCrush Purchases Help Rescued Animals Like Odie & Eeyora
Freedom Farms provides lifelong care to more than 50 rescued animals. Odie and Eeyora (above) are two of our residents — a racehorse who arrived after the industry decided he was finished and a donkey who was headed to slaughter. Your generous donations make a huge difference, helping pay for hay, vet bills, specialist hoof care, and shelter for the rest of their lives.
Participating businesses will donate 10% of proceeds from each featured VegCrush item to support animal care at In Defense of Animals’ Freedom Farms. Your new favorite vegan dish, local bottle of wine, cruelty-free beauty product, or plant-based treat contributes to a hay delivery or essential farrier visit.
Can't get to SLO but want to help? You can support Odie, Eeyora, and our rescued animal family with a gift!
Featured businesses get a listing on the VegCrush map, promotion to In Defense of Animals’ 250,000+ supporters, and social features throughout the campaign. Sign up by October 1. Email justin@idausa.org.
