Lots of animals love pumpkin! If you have a farm sanctuary nearby they may want your leftover Halloween pumpkins if they are fresh, clean, and unpainted. Contact them to find out!

Merrymac Farm Sanctuary @merrymacsanctuary.bsky.social · 4d

Sheep, goats, pigs, birds, and many other animals love pumpkin! If you have intact pumpkins after Halloween or jack o'lanterns that are carved but not painted or rotting and don't have candle wax inside, contact your local farm sanctuary to see if they would like them as donations!

Please help your community, as the SNAP benefits will not be available November 1 due to Congress playing politics.
Shame on this whole administration for being selfish & greedy, letting Americans go hungry & at the same time want to increase their healthcare costs.

I know that many are trying to find ways to support neighbors facing the likelihood that food stamp benefits will not be paid out at the end of this week. I found this list of items that food pantries really need.

If Prince Andrew used Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring, he should go to jail.

If Bill Clinton used Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring, he should go to jail.

If Donald Trump used Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring, he should go to jail.

That wasn’t so difficult, was it?

Out of curiosity, I looked to see if Chewy had a pet food donation program, and they do:
www.chewy.com/g/give-back

Enter your location and it lists area organizations, including pet food pantries, and their needs. Also seems to be a good place to start if you are in need of pet food too.

Im BEGGING y’all: please just give money to yhe foodbanks.

Foodbanks are one charity where money goes a LONG ASS WAY because they get subsidized prices for the food they purchase.

I only raised $3K by myself and it was enough for almost 11,000 full MEALS they told me.

Donate MONEY.

To Whom It May Concern,
My name is Gabrielle Perry! I started a fundraiser for Greater Baton Rouge Foodbank for Thanksgiving. We raised DOUBLE my original goal, and turned in the funds today (check out the attached picture) in time to provide a whopping 10,585 meals to needy families this holiday season! But I would like to end my fundraiser.
My login is under this email address. Please let me know if there's anything else you need from me!
Thanks!
Happy Holidays,
