For more than two decades, Farm Sanctuary’s annual Walk for Farm Animals has helped spread the word about the treatment of animals on factory farms and raised vital funds for our rescue, education and advocacy work.

The Walks are an important part of Farm Sanctuary’s history and our outreach and fundraising efforts. They are also a great way for supporters to help send a positive message of compassion and hope for farm animals.

Each year, the Walks are more successful, attracting more participants and raising more money to help abused animals. They are positive events that bring together people who care about what factory farming is doing to animals, people and the environment.

Walks occur across the U.S. and in Canada in September and October. Walks are organized and run by volunteers, and it is their incredible commitment and talent that makes these events so successful. All of your generous contributions go straight to Farm Sanctuary.  

If you are interested in participating in a Farm Sanctuary Walk for Farm Animals, please check out the Find a 2009 Walk page to see if there is an event in your community. You can register either online, or through mail by contacting your local Walk coordinator.

If there is not a Walk scheduled in your area, you can still help by participating in our “No-Walk” Walk! This new virtual Walk is designed for people who want to help raise funds to support the Walk but can’t actually take to the streets for the event. If that describes you, please go to firstgiving.com/farmsanctuary and click on “Get Started.” Then, select the “No-Walk” Walk from the top of the list. Follow the instructions to set up your own fundraising page, which you will use to spread the word about the Walk and solicit lifesaving donations from friends, colleagues, family members, and everyone else in your e-mail address book!

Please also consider making a donation to help us meet our fundraising goal for this year’s Walk. More than ever, farm animals need your help. Thank you!
