CALLING ALL VENDORS!

We're looking for artisans, makers, crafters, small businesses, and community organizations to join us for Market Day at Turtle Valley Donkey Refuge on July 11.

Come support our incredible nonprofit organization while enjoying a fun day of shopping, community, and giving back, not to mention meeting our sweet, rescued donkeys in a beautiful countryside setting.

There is no vendor fee to participate in Market Day. In lieu of a fee, we kindly ask that each vendor donate an item(s) of their choice with a minimum value of $25 to be used in a future raffle supporting the refuge.

Every dollar raised helps provide care, shelter, and support for the donkeys who call the refuge home.

Whether you create handmade goods, sell specialty products, or want to connect with the community, we'd love to have you join us.

Donatello can't see much of the world around him anymore, mostly just shadows and shapes. But he knows the warmth of the sun on his back, the sound of familiar voices, and the comfort of having his friend Phoebe nearby.

He loveesssss butt scratches, and follows Herd Health Director Nicky around by listening for her claps!

Senior donkeys like Donatello have a little extra in their daily care routine than the rest of the herd, but that's exactly what the Refuge is here for.

Right now, there's an incredible opportunity to double your impact.

Sakura's Hope Foundation has committed to matching the first $60,000 in donations to our Donkey Care & Comfort 2026 Fund.

Every dollar given before September 6th goes twice as far toward the daily care, comfort, and routines that make a real difference for donkeys like Donatello.

A huge thank you to Sue E. for being the first to step up with a generous $1,000 donation to kick things off. ๐Ÿฉถ
