Give Supplies or Services
In-kind donations are an integral part of our work and save us thousands of dollars every year. Our new/used wish list includes items easy to find at home or your local store. We also accept donations of services from local professionals, such as veterinarians, lawyers and accountants. Please contact us for more information on gifts of service.
Give a Monthly Donation
Ongoing monthly donations of any amount are the best way to ensure that our emergency services are available when they are needed most. Monthly donors join our exclusive wildlife neighbors list and receive special perks. Monthly gifts allow us to plan for the number of patients/species we can care for and help expand our services in other ways. Monthly donors hold a special place in our hearts for their ongoing support of our mission.
Give a One-Time Donation
A one-time donation is a great way to support a particular patient or project. Gifts may be given by credit card by clicking the link above or by mail to West Shore Wildlife Center, PO Box 244, Etters, PA 17319. One-time gifts are also an excellent way to give in memory of someone or honor another wildlife champion. Please include a note with your donation if you would like someone else acknowledged for the gift.
