Fall Festival - Blanket / Pumpkin Donation Drop
Sunday, November 1st from 8am-11am
Join us for one of the piggies’ favorite traditions of the year: Better Piggies Rescue’s Fall Festival and annual Blanket & Pumpkin Donation Drive! Every year after Halloween, we invite our community to bring fresh, whole pumpkins that are uncarved and mold-free, along with gently used or new blankets, to the sanctuary. You’ll even get to meet some of the very piggies who will enjoy your gifts! Our residents absolutely love crunching, chomping, and gobbling up pumpkins, making this one of the tastiest times of the year at Better Piggies.
The blankets are just as treasured. As cooler weather arrives, the piggies love to burrow into cozy piles and build the perfect warm nests for bedtime. New this year, we’re turning the donation drive into a Fall Festival, with volunteer-hosted tables featuring fun piggy-related items for purchase. Every dollar raised helps care for our more than 215 rescued piggies, so bring a pumpkin or blanket, shop for something piggy-cute, meet the residents, and help make their fall full, warm, and cozy!

Of course, some of our rescued residents will be nearby to serve as the cutest story-time audience imaginable.
This family-friendly event celebrates kindness, acceptance, and the joy of finding a place where you belong. Guests will get to experience the sanctuary, meet the piggies, and enjoy an interactive afternoon created for animal lovers of all ages.
