We're excited to welcome Lori Kitchen-Buschel as our new Executive Director—she brings incredible experience and passion to lead us into our next chapter of growth and impact. Together, Dan and Lori form a powerful team ready to expand our reach and build an even stronger future for the rescued farmed animals of Barn. This marks an exciting new era for Barn Sanctuary as we continue working toward a world where all farmed animals are treated with compassion and respect.
