For the third Sunday each month, the Social Justice & Action Committee gives away that Sunday’s offering to a local nonprofit. This month is our third Sunday recipient is Sanctuary One. Sanctuary One is an animal sanctuary established in 2007 in the Applegate Valley.

In their first ten years, they have sheltered over 700 animals, and food grown in their gardens is donated to local food bank pantries. From their website, sanctuaryone.org:

“Sanctuary One provides a safe home to rescued farm animals and house pets. We work with area shelters, rescues, and law-enforcement agencies to bring in animals who receive personalized attention, loving rehabilitation, and a peaceful retirement here. The farm includes expansive gardens which not only provide rich vegetables and food for the animals, but opportunities for growth of the people who tend them.”
