Operation Forever Loved "Everyone deserves love for the holiday"
At Badger State Farms LLC, we understand that the holidays can be a challenging time for some. That's why we are dedicated to spreading joy and cheer through our holiday card program. Each recipient will receive a handwritten card, often handmade, most times we will include a holiday photo of our beloved farm residents. We invite everyone to connect with us and our animals, encouraging you to write back throughout the year for personalized responses. Together, let's make this holiday season a little brighter!
All letters will come from:
Badger State Farms LLC
4911 Washington St
Wisconsin Rapids, WI 54494
Donations welcome via mail as well - monitary is always best but in kind items accepted as well!
(For 2024, letters will be in English - cursive or print can be requested). If you want to write in another language, please let us know because we would love to offer more languages for recipients. If you want to be a volunteer writer, talk about the program to groups, collect donations, or find another way to help ensure no one is left sad for the holidays please fill out the contact us below.
**We do not require donations to receive a card/letter However, we need funds for stamps, paper, cards, pens, and we try whenever possible to offer our volunteers some sort of gift for their time. So please consider donating to help ensure our program can reach as many requests as possible.
***We cannot ship cards overseas without donations to help cover expenses.
Thank you! Badger State Farms LLC Team and our Volunteers. Please follow our Farm Page to learn about other programs!
