Donations

ECWR is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization.  We receive no federal, state, or

county funding. We are able to help Florida's wildlife only due to our fundraising efforts and the generous donations and grants from the Gulf Coast

community members and businesses, tourists, and other organizations.

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).

Fruits & Veggies

Food donations of vegetables, leafy greens, fruits, bird seed, and peanut butter are always welcome!

The only produce we do not accept are avocados, asparagus, citrus (oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruits, etc...no citrus is safe for our animals), exotic fruits or vegetables, onions, or potatoes.

Protein

Eggs, game meat, frozen rodents and more can all be fed to ECWR animals.

Any game meat must be from a legal, native animal to Florida and must be field dressed (and skinned or plucked), uncooked, and unseasoned. 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.

Building materials

With our new facility, 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.

If you have any questions or concerns on 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.
