It must also be bow-and-arrow harvested. (This does not include roadkill.)Fish fillets can be saltwater or freshwater (but must be native and legal in Florida), and must be deboned prior to donation.
Other Items
Clothing & Fabrics
Towels, flat sheets, pillowcases, blankets, and other fabrics are always needed.We cannot accept:fitted sheets, human clothing, bath mats with abrasive rubber, pillows, comforters, or furniture cushions (as these can present chewing or suffocation hazards).
Building Supplies
We are always growing!
We still have many projects around the property needing enhancements or touch-ups. Wood, bricks, pavers, garden supplies, and more will help us keep our facility beautiful and safe.
Cleaning Agents
With our washer and dryers operating up to 8+ hours a day, we can go through immense loads of laundry detergent and bleach. Dish soap is also always needed.
Forage For Us
One of the best ways for you to connect with nature while also supporting ECWR's mission is through foraging. Please ensure that any natural items or vegetation from your yard are pesticide free, mold free, and of a native species.
You can choose to donate items such as:
Acorns, Freshly Bagged Grass, Dandelions, Branches with Leaves, Pinecones, Green Pinecones, Fresh Native Flowers, and Clovers!
If you have any questions or concerns about any of the item(s) that you're looking to donate, please send a picture to our Facebook page and someone will respond.
Please do not donate large items, such as cages, without approval.
