May Non-Profit of the Month

This month, we are thrilled to highlight HOME: Helping Our Miniature Equines - a compassionate local non-profit dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating miniature horses and donkeys who have been neglected, abused, or abandoned.

At HOME, each animal receives the medical care, training, and socialization they need to become healthy, confident, and ready for adoption into loving forever homes. Their journey from rescue to recovery is truly inspiring - and made possible by the dedication of this incredible organization.

HOME also believes that everyone deserves a moment of joy, especially those who may be experiencing isolation or loneliness. Through their heartwarming HOME cares program, miniature horses visit assisted living and memory care facilities, bringing smiles, comfort and connection to seniors. Just one visit from a miniature horse can bring a smile, spark memories, and create a moment of pure happiness.

We’re proud to support HOME and their meaningful work this month. If you’d like to learn more, sponsor an equine, or get involved, visit:

Let’s keep building a stronger, more compassionate community together!
