As the season of gratitude begins, the Intermountain Farmers Association (IFA) invites the Four Corners community to participate in the 6th Annual Feeding Furriends Animal Food Drive, running from November 3–15, 2025.
This annual drive provides essential food and feed to local animal shelters, rescues, and sanctuaries across the Intermountain West.
In partnership with trusted pet food and feed sponsors like Purina, Hill’s Science Diet, Victor, and community sponsors like Hutton Broadcasting, IFA ensures that pets and livestock in need receive the nutrition they deserve. Every donation makes a direct and measurable impact on vulnerable animals in your community.
