Animal Assisted Activities & Donations for Experiences

Our Mission

The AFA mission is to bring the joy, comfort, and educational value of animal-assisted experiences to those who need it most. We provide free and low-cost mobile petting zoo programs to underserved communities, including Title I schools, low-income families, and publicly funded elder care facilities. Through generous donations for animal experiences, we can ensure that meaningful animal encounters educate, inspire, and heal—making these experiences accessible to everyone, regardless of income or circumstance. With the support of our donors and partners, our nonprofit organization creates inclusive, hands-on opportunities for children, seniors, and individuals with special needs to connect with animals in ways that spark curiosity, compassion, and joy.

Every Gift goes a long way:
