Donate Items That Make a Difference

Not all donations have to come in the form of cash—some of the most impactful gifts are the ones gathering dust in a closet or tucked away in a drawer. At Elegius Mini Equine Sanctuary, we gratefully accept a wide variety of items that help us raise funds and care for our beloved minis.

Donate to Our Annual Barn Yard Sale

Each summer, our Barn Yard Sale is a major fundraising event—and a local favorite! We welcome donations of:

  • Antiques and collectibles

  • Gently used household goods

  • Garden tools and supplies

  • Farm machinery and equipment

  • Horse tack and equine supplies

Your unwanted items can help provide feed, veterinary care, and shelter for the minis we serve. Clean out your garage or attic, and know your treasures will help a great cause.

Gift Cards Make Great Gifts (to the Herd)

Have an unused or partially used gift card you’re not sure what to do with? We can put it to good use. We gratefully accept gift cards to:

  • Tractor Supply

  • Rockingham Co-op

  • Augusta Co-Op

  • Any grocery store or online retailer (we use them for everything from apples and carrots to cleaning supplies)

Every card, no matter the amount, helps us meet daily needs and keep our minis happy and healthy.

Feed and Supply Coupons

If you receive coupons for grain, feed, supplements, or equine supplies, consider sharing them with us. Coupons help us stretch our dollars further—every discount makes an impact and allows us to redirect funds to critical medical and care needs.
