It is very hard to say no to generous people, but there are just some items we can’t accept! Without your contributions of food, linens, vitamins and cleaning products, we would have to raise thousands of additional dollars. We have limited storage space and some items just don’t benefit our patients
No, thank you! items: See the linens list and..
– broken plastic or rusted kennels or bird cages
– stuffies with beans or pellets such as Beanie Babies
– items with strong scents
– used bike tires
– Due to avian influenza, we can’t accept poultry or waterfowl meat, or eggs at this time.
