The Elephant Sanctuary

The Community Services Committee is collecting money for the Elephant Sanctuary in Hohenwald, Tennessee.  Founded in 1995, the sanctuary is the nation's largest natural habitat refuge developed specifically for endangered African and Asian elephants.  It operates on 2,700 acres in Hohenwald, about 85 miles southwest of Nashville.  The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization. 

The Elephant Sanctuary exists for two reasons:  (1) To provide a haven for old, sick or needy elephants in a setting of green pastures, dense forests, spring-fed ponds and heated barns for cold winter nights; and (2) To provide education about the crisis facing these social, sensitive, passionately intense, playful, complex, exceedingly intelligent and endangered creatures. 

AGA will be collecting donations for the Elephant Sanctuary through their website at http://www.elephants.com/.  Just click the “Donate” button.  AGA will match your donations up to $500.  If you have any questions, please contact Jennifer Whitsel, 615-747-5265, or Jennifer.Whitsel@cot.tn.gov.  Please be sure to forward your donation receipt to Jennifer.
