The Maine State Society for
the Protection of Animals (MSSPA) has begun, yet again, their annual “Buy a
Bale” fundraising campaign. This year, Sebago Lake Automotive is collaborating
with the shelter for horses to help them purchase the much-needed hay.
The Society, which is New England’s largest horse shelter,
uses 20,000 bales of hay per year to feed the animals they care for. About half
is made from their own hay on the property, with the rest being purchased.
Funds raised from the Buy A Bale program pays for making and buying this hay.
Each year, their budget for hay is approximately $100,000.
Many horses who arrive at the facility,
located at 279 River Road in Windham, are in need of recovery from abuse and
neglect, oftentimes arriving at the shelter starving and in need of nutrition.
Currently, there are approximately 40 horses that make their home at MSSPA.
Have you heard of “Pay it forward”? Well, the owners
and staff of Sebago Lake Automotive want to “hay it forward’ and do their part
in helping to promote the annual “Buy A Bale” fundraising efforts. The
company’s goal is to raise $100,000 by June 1st.
