All donations this year will go directly to Critter Creek Farm Sanctuary to help with operating costs and rehabilitation for their animals.
Critter Creek Farm Sanctuary is a 501(c)3 non-profit that was founded in 2016 by Erin Amerman and Chris Amerman. Our driving mission is to promote compassion for farm animals through rescue and education. Another core part of our mission is to support other farm sanctuaries--we believe strongly that we are all in this together for the animals. CCFS has two facilities. The first is the original Critter Creek in Gainesville, Florida: a 210-acre farm sanctuary and wildlife preserve we purchased in 2015. Approximately 125 acres of the Critter Creek facility, with its forests and natural springs, is a dedicated wildlife preserve. The remainder is set aside for rescued farm animal residents, including pigs, donkeys, and cows. In 2019, we realized that if we're going to keep this rescue thing going, well, we're gonna need a bigger ark. So, we gave up the idea of building our dream home and instead put the money we had been saving for our dream home toward our second facility: Critter Hills, a 200-acre ranch and hay farm just up the road from Critter Creek in Alachua, Florida. This second facility has allowed us to rescue many more animals.
