Obviously, the many needs of the U.S. Wolf Refuge could be met easily and quickly by simply having the money to pay for them. However, we are well aware that most individuals and businesses today are looking at an uncertain financial future. The U.S. Wolf Refuge is no different. Our cash income is spread entirely too thin. Considering the financial prospects of today’s economy, many people who wish to support organizations such as ours are choosing to contribute their time rather than draw on their financial resources.
In order to provide humane care for the magnificent animals now with us, and in the interest of those in our future, we are asking all of our friends to contribute as much as possible in time and/or financial support. Whatever efforts we make together will help us ensure the development of the best possible environment for these animals we love so much.
In addition to rescuing and providing safe refuge for the countless wolves and wolf dogs that need our help, we wish to develop a desperately needed Educational Outreach Program. The U.S. Wolf Refuge will tailor a presentation on wolf behavior, management, evolution, history, rescue, or a related topic for your group or organizational meeting. But time and resources are limited for these activities as well.
For those interested in learning first hand about the behavior and personality of wolves, volunteering will afford you the opportunity to learn and to help the U.S. Wolf Refuge. Following are some ways you can volunteer, either for fundraising purposes or hands-on, in-kind work efforts:
- Schools — Students, ask your teacher or school administrators if you can organize a fundraising event such as a car wash, bake sale, candy drive, etc. If you want some ideas, we have plenty… just call us.
- Businesses — Employees, ask your manager about contribution drives with matching donations from the company, donation requests enclosed in paycheck envelopes, corporate donations, etc.
- Service Clubs — Boy Scout, Girl Scout and 4-H Club members, ask your leaders about special projects. We can suggest a variety of volunteer projects for your group or individual members that would benefit the wolf.
- Community Service — If the court has sentenced you to community service, the United States Wolf Refuge is where you might be able to complete that obligation. Ask the court clerk for information
