A top-tier luxury getaway on the Caribbean island of Antigua, Hammock Cove, has hit an impressive fundraising milestone for local animal welfare, pulling in more than $20,000 to support the island’s donkey sanctuary run by the Antigua & Barbuda Humane Society. Resort leadership attributes the campaign’s overwhelming success to the generosity and enthusiastic participation of its guests, who turned a community outreach initiative into a major boost for animal care across the island.
Every dollar raised will go directly toward covering critical needs for the donkeys housed at the sanctuary. This includes consistent access to nutritious food, safe and comfortable shelter, regular veterinary check-ups and emergency medical care, updated on-site safety protocols to prevent injury, and regular socialization and enrichment activities to support the animals’ physical and mental well-being.
For Hammock Cove, this successful fundraiser is far more than a one-off charity project. It represents a core pillar of the resort’s longstanding commitment to local community partnership programming, which centers on protecting vulnerable animal populations and expanding accessible care for creatures across Antigua. By centering guest engagement in the initiative, the resort has also built greater awareness of local animal welfare needs among visitors from around the world.
Officials from the Antigua & Barbuda Humane Society have publicly lauded Hammock Cove for its remarkable contribution, awarding the resort the enthusiastic title of “ROCKSTAR” for its dedication to the sanctuary’s mission. The organization extended formal thanks to the resort and its guests for their ongoing support of animal protection work in the dual-island nation.
