In-Kind Donations
Please see the list below for items that WCSL regularly needs to maintain its standard of care. If you have a donation that is not on the list, we welcome you to contact us to see if we can use the item.
Ongoing Needs
Home Goods - bath towels, hand towels, dish towels, flat sheets. We can take used or new items and prefer items with no embroidery or tassels.
Cleaning Supplies - bleach, dawn dish soap, vinegar, scrubbers, pipe cleaners, cleaning brushes, garbage bags (13 gal, 35 gal), etc. It is best that these items are new or lightly used.
Pet Items or Equipment - glass tanks or terrariums, pet kennels, caging, reptile hides, bird cages, non-spill pet dishes, dog or bird toys, etc.
We particularly use these butterfly enclosures and all the size variations.
Personal Protective Equipment - N95 & N94 masks, other disposable masks, leather or other protective gloves (to handle raptors)
Medical Equipment and Supplies - Needles, syringes, oxygen tubes, oxygen concentrators, medical PPE, etc.
It is best that all medical supplies are new and sterile. We will accept used medical equipment like oxygen concentrators.
Food - non-expired (no sugar, no salt added) nuts, grains (oat groats, rolled oats, millet), seeds (safflower, sunflower, etc.).
New or used items are equally as valuable and we appreciate the effort put into cleaning an item before donation! If you have a large item, you can email us to see if we have room for it.

Medical Offices
We know that there are a lot of medical supplies that cannot be used for human medicine but are not contaminated. We can repurpose gowns that have been unwrapped and are no longer sterile, but are unused and still clean. Donations from medical offices helps to offset our costs. We accept sterile needles and syringes, opened but unused gowns, drapes, saline flushes, etc. If you are unsure, please contact us.
