Whidbey Island Farm Animal Assistance Program

Hello everyone! We've had some messages regarding donations for some of the horses seized in the on-going Island County animal cruelty case. Direct donations can be mailed to PO Box 402, Coupeville, WA 98239, made out to WIFAAP or Whidbey Island Farm Animal Assistance Program. We are still checking with suppliers and farm stores about setting up accounts to accept donations that route as well. We are touched by all the people who have been reaching out to help these animals. Thank you all!
