BONFIRE pumpkin drive shirts!!!!
We have two great designs by local artists, all proceeds from bonfire will be split evenly between occra and the sanctuaries we are supporting this year.
It is our 6th year of The GREAT Pumpkin Drive! Every year, between October 1st, and December 1st. we collect all non-rotting pumpkins and squash from our community at our main drop off location in Oregon City. We share with local sanctuaries, who rescue neglected and unwanted farm animals. Don’t know what to do with your Halloween pumpkins? Bring them to us and provide a delicious meal for an animal and help save the sanctuaries a little money!
This year is also a fundraiser, as things have gotten very difficult as our economy sees rising prices in hay, feed, produce, building equipment, lumber, medication, etc. All things very commonly purchased for sanctuaries, and often coming from their own pockets. Many sanctuaries are overwhelmed with requests to take in and rescue more animals, but because of the cost of operating and feeding and vetting each animal, they are unable to save as many as they’d like to. We know this because we also run a farm rescue outside of OCCRA, entirely out of pocket.
The sanctuaries we are splitting all donations with evenly this year are:
We will feature each these sanctuaries one at a time over the course of the drive to give them the spot light they deserve! Our bonfire campaign is live! Go check out the pumpkin drive swag!
