Wish List

The following items are needed to care for the wildlife brought to Piedmont Wildlife Center in need of help. Articles do not have to be new, but should be in reasonably good condition. Please call the rehabilitation center to see if a food item is needed before bringing it to us. Outdated medical supplies for human and veterinary use may still be usable for wildlife. Donations are sincerely appreciated, tax deductible, and will be put to good use.

If you have anything you wish to donate, please send email to wishlist::piedmontwildlifecenter.org (substitute an @ symbol instead of the :: we used above) or call the rehabilitation center.

With our recent move, we are eager for more freezer storage space. If you know of a standup or chest freezer, preferably an energy efficient model, that we could have, that would be especially helpful. With it we could buy food in bulk and store it on site, saving both time and money. A laser printer for the rehabilitation center is also a priority.
