Donate Items

A Note About Meat: We get quite a lot of meat donated so please call us at 218-491-3604 to find out if we have room in our freezer. All donated meat must be labeled with its type, and the date it was frozen. We cannot accept spiced, flavored or marinated meat. Please do not leave meat donations outside our door – it goes bad sitting in the sun and can attract healthy wildlife, promoting habituation (we’ve seen bears in our back yard so please, please, please, help us to NOT train them to dig around the hospital for food)

Amazon Wishlist

The easiest way to donate items to Wildwoods is to shop our Amazon wish list, or, for orphan-specific needs, our Amazon Baby Registry. If you would like to receive a receipt from Wildwoods for these purchases, please forward your Amazon.com receipt to donations@wildwoodsrehab.org
