Help Feed Our Bats!

The purpose of this program is to create an incentive for grocery stores, farmers markets, and orchards to consider donating unwanted produce to help feed our hungry retired fruit bats. This reduces the need for waste while giving back to an important cause. We are providing lifetime sanctuary for rescued, retired, and confiscated fruit bats. Produce donations are welcome and help us feed these amazing animals.
