Join us in helping Appalachian Wildlife Refuge provide injured and orphaned wild animals a place to go for care and treatment. Donations give these animals a second chance at life in the wild.
Who is the Appalachian Wildlife Refuge (AWR)?
Appalachian Wildlife Refuge is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that coordinates wildlife rehabilitation efforts in Western North Carolina by providing care for about 2,000 injured and orphaned wildlife, supporting the wildlife rehabilitation network and offering conservation education to the community in 2020.
We are helping collect supply donations for the Appalachian Wildlife Refuge's wish list. These supplies will help AWR restock and be ready to help wildlife during the fall and winter months. Big or small, all donations help. Appalachian Wildlife Refuge can use your help all year round.
There are several ways to support and donate:
- SHOP ONLINE from the comfort of your home: Shop AWR's wish list on Amazon and have the items shipped directly to them.
