How many horse owners would buy an additional bag of feed for a local rescue

Ok, so this is a shameless attempt to spread an idea I've been cooking up.

If a reputable, established and trusted feed store had a display at the checkout counter to "Add a bag" for your local rescue (also reputable, with tax exempt status and veterinary reference) would you do it?

Basically I'm talking about paying for a bag of feed which would be credited to the rescue's account, then the rescue would receive the donated bags when they come in for their regular monthly or weekly feed run.

There would have to be an accountability protocol. The stores would give receipts to the donors, the donors would submit these to the rescue for confirmation should a question arise and for tax purposes.

So, does anyone think it's feasible? Angles I haven't considered? Anybody want to run with it in their area?

That sounds like a great idea! Should be a bale of hay too.

I buy SafeChoice and a 50lb bag is only $11 and a bale of grass hay is $9. Very easy to buy an extra for horses in need! The rescue org. might want a certain kind of feed so it would be more of a donation of equal value towards a bag of feed. If you think about all the different kinds we get the rescuers would never get the same "order" twice and their horses would get sick with ever changing feed. The overall idea is great though!

I live in a small town and I am sure that my feed store would be willing to do something like this with dog food too. I will approach them on it.
