Are you a pro at finding the best deals? Do you love organizing donation drives with friends, family, or coworkers? Want to make a direct impact on saving orphaned and injured wildlife?
If you said yes to any of those, this is your time to shine!
Baby season is upon us, and the wave of wild patients is already rolling in. This year, we expect to care for roughly 4,000 orphaned and injured wild animals, each requiring specialized care to grow strong and return to the wild. With the cost of care last year averaging $350 per animal, monetary donations are always a huge help—but donating critical supplies is another powerful way to support these wild lives. As personal expenses are rising, we must also prepare for our rehab costs to increase (for instance, we use thousands of eggs a year!)
