Ways To Support NYWRC/NELR

Did you know that there are many ways to support Northeast Llama Rescue/New York Wildlife Rescue Center? And some of them won't cost you an extra dime!

Donations

Of course, there is always the option of sending a donation directly. These gifts to the animals are so gratefully appreciated, and are the backbone of our ability to care for them. With winter breathing (coldly!) down our necks, your donations are even more needed than ever. In the winter, feed and housing costs go up, we wind up with unexpected medical situations, and our ability to attend public events (where many of our donations come in) dwindles to next-to-nothing.

How can you donate?

If you prefer PayPal, look on this blog page for the "Donate" button in the sidebar. Also, there is a "Donate" button at the bottom of our main website, http://www.redmaplefarm.net, which is always accessible.

If you are not comfortable sending money online, you may always send a check instead. This can go to:

Wes Laraway

NELR/NYWRC

PO Box 410

Middleburgh, NY 12122

Or if you prefer, you may download and fill in our mail-in form and send that with your check. It is located here:

Other Ways To Support The Animals

Amazon Smile is a wonderful program that donates a percentage of all sales that go through them to a person's chosen charity. It's only a small donation, but if enough good-hearted people sign up, it can definitely make a dent in our expenses. Now that the holiday season is approaching, if we can get enough people shopping through Amazon Smile, it would be wonderful. Please sign up through the following link, and tell your family members, friends, neighbors, dentist. trash collector and second cousin twice removed to sign up, too! Amazon Smile is absolutely free to shoppers, and is as easy to use as signing in to Amazon through the Smile portal (they will even give you a button to click on your browser so you can do that in one step).

Similar to Amazon Smile, but with hundreds of other participating stores, is iGive. When you sign up for iGive, which is also free to you, you can shop at a huge number of online stores, which will then donate varying percentages to NELR/NYWRC. It's perfectly fine, also, to sign on to both Amazon Smile and iGive, so that wherever you shop, you can help the animals, 

iGive's Sign-up is here: http://www.igive.com/NYWildlifeRescueCenter

iGive also has a search engine that, when you use it instead of one of the many other search engines online, will donate a penny per valid search to NELR/NYWRC. Look for the search bar at the top of the page here:
