Warm Weather Apparel!

For two weeks only we are running our fall apparel fundraiser! And for the first time ever we are offering flannels and jackets!

You can see our flannels and jackets here: https://www.customink.com/fundraising/haven-acres-flannel-and-jacket-fall-fundraiser-21

(The flannels and jackets have an embroidered Haven Acres logo on the front but no design on the back.)

And our sweatshirts and long-sleeve t-shirt are here: https://www.customink.com/fundraising/haven-acres-sweatshirt-fundraiser-21

(The sweatshirts and long-sleeve have our logo on the front and the Nehemiah design on the back.)

There are multiple colors for each item and there’s kids sizes in most of the sweatshirt options.

Order before December 20th if you would like to get them!

The way that CustomInk sets up their fundraisers required us to split it up into two different fundraisers to be able to offer the jackets and flannels, so if you order from both unfortunately you won’t be able to combine the shipping.

Unfortunately these will not be shipped in time for Christmas. We’re really sorry about this, but we were having issues with getting this fundraiser up and running this year.

We will not be ordering any extras of these, so if you would like one, this is your chance 🙂

#GivingTuesday Update

THANK YOU to all who donated on #GivingTuesday! $2,305 was given and we are so grateful! God has always been faithful and given us what we have needed for Haven Acres.
 
Psalm 34:10: “The young lions suffer want and hunger; but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.”
 
Eph. 3:20-21: “Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”

GivingTuesday, November 30th!

#GivingTuesday is the international day of generosity happening on November 30, 2021.

If you’d like to help Haven Acres continue to be able to show people God’s love through one-on-one mentorship and rescue horses, there’s a few ways you can do that.

Ways to help tomorrow:

  • Share, comment on, and like our #GT posts. I have been and will continue to be posting about our #GivingTuesday fundraiser, and the more people like, comment on, and share posts, the more people who will see them. (Facebook shows posts to more people when more people interact with them.)
  • Create your own Facebook fundraiser:
    • This is so helpful! Personal fundraisers (connected to Haven Acres) share directly to the people on your friend list, sends them notifications, and asks them if they would like to donate. Our fundraiser will only reach our So this is one of the most impactful ways you can help!
    • If you make a fundraiser, make it personal! Talk about why Haven Acres means a lot to you.
    • There’s also an option where you could match people who donate on your fundraiser if you’d like to do that.
  • Your kids could help! They can create a TikTok or Instagram Reel about why Haven Acres matters to them and link to our page or fundraiser!
  • Donate:
    • Facebook matching – Facebook will be matching up to $8M in donations made on Facebook fundraisers ONLY on November 30th, starting at 7am central time. Facebook usually runs out of matching money very quick, so if you’d like yours to be matched, try donating as close to 7am as you can that day! Here’s the link: https://www.facebook.com/donate/626055541859831/
    • Employer matching – many employers will match donations made by their employees! You could always see if yours will do this.
    • If you would like another way to donate, you can visit this link: havenacresmn.org/donate.

Our goal is to raise $6,000 on #GivingTuesday. This will help us pay our expenses for part of the winter as we take care of the horses and work on fundraising and strengthening the ministry to be even better next year.

Thank you for your help! We couldn’t do it without you!

Our Most Successful Bowling for Bucks Yet!

Bowling for Bucks 2021 was our most successful one yet! Thanks to fourteen bowlers and all their friends and family, more than $10,000 was raised!

We had a super fun night of laughter, pizza, friendship, and friendly competition. Our bowlers were ages ten all the way to… well, we’ll just say “middle aged.” It was a great time and it helps so much with all of our summer expenses this year!

THANK YOU to all the bowlers for raising support! THANK YOU to all the donors who believed in Haven Acres and what God is doing here enough to generously sponsor one of our bowlers! We appreciate you all so much!

GivingTuesday Results

We are so grateful to everyone who donated to Haven Acres on GivingTuesday! A total of $3,150 was raised! This helps us so much going into winter to pay for hay, vet bills, admin costs, and all the other things we have to do to make summer sessions possible. We appreciate you all so much! Thank you again!!

GivingTuesday is TODAY!

GivingTuesday is TODAY! And Facebook is matching donations again this year! Our goal is to raise $6,000 to help cover our winter costs this year. Regardless of your means, your location, or your time constraints, GivingTuesday is a day where anyone can make a difference in the life of our youth. Every child, teenager, family, and horse who comes to Haven Acres is welcomed free of charge, and we rely 100% on our donors to make it possible for us to offer a safe place for them. Even though we don’t have regular programming during the winter season we still have animals to feed, office work to be done, and other ministry needs to fulfill. This is a time of strengthening for our summer season to be successful and we need donors who believe in what we’re doing to help us accomplish that!

Visit https://www.facebook.com/donate/744050673158293/ to donate to our Facebook fundraiser! Facebook pays all the processing fees for you, so 100% of your donation goes directly to the nonprofit. Donations can also be made by check, PayPal, or GuideStar if you visit havenacresmn.org/donate!

Bowling for Bucks Results

Ten bowlers played 3 games, got 57 sponsors, and raised $8,622! It was a fun night of fellowship, pizza, and bowling. We are so grateful for the bowlers who were brave enough to ask family and friends for support and for the donors who generously gave to support the Haven Acres ministry!

Sweatshirts Available!

Haven Acres offers all of our programs and services free of charge because we believe in offering help to anyone who needs it, not just to those who can afford it. This is a big commitment to uphold that requires a lot of help from the community! If you would like to help support our mission to demonstrate God’s love by serving youth and their families through mentorship and rescuing animals, this is one of the ways you can do that!

Even though the regular programming season is coming to a close, there’s still costs and ministry happening at the ranch. With COVID this year we were unable to run a couple of our usual fundraisers, so this fundraiser could help substantially! Besides helping with our regular programming, your support will allow us to provide a safe home for our rescued and donated horses year-round, run the administrative side of the ministry, train in volunteers, occasionally host especially at-risk youth during the colder months, allow groups of teens in day-treatment to come out, and more. This is a big mission that can’t do without help!

Many people ask for Haven Acres sweatshirts each year and this is the only time that we have them available each year! So if you or someone you know would like to get one, this is your chance! We do not keep extras on hand.

Thank you for supporting our youth, families, and horses in this way!!
