Oil Spill Animal Relief In the coming days our country will begin to suffer the consequences of the worst oil spill in U.S. history. The aftermath of the spill will be truly devasting to animals and their habitats across the gulf coast. PATH has determined a need for logistical, supply and rescue support will be needed for months to come. I will be leaving NYC to travel to the gulf region and mobilize a central supply and rescue/information center in the wake of the oil spill. PATH volunteers are currently establishing supply/donation drop sites in locations across the country. The supplies and donations secured at these sites will be efficiently sent to our central location in the gulf region and then distributed to areas of most need. Below are some items that are needed. Items that cost less to buy locally than mail/transport are not included. NEEDED: Volunteers to collect supplies/donations in their communities/offices/schools Nets w/ Handle Netting Tents w/ stakes/etc. WaterPic(K)s - water spray - not electric brush Sun Protection Lotion (non animal tested please) Wading Boots Syringes for feeding (NO NEEDLES) Digital camera (s) with appropriate connecting cords Video camera w/ appropriate connecting cords Vet Wrap Veg/Vegan snack bars Walmart/Target gift cards Heating pads Electrical extension cords Pliers Hotel/airline points/miles Financial support - donations In NYC supplies/donations can be dropped off at Moo Shoes 78 Orchard Street New York, NY 10002 (Lower East Side b/t Grand/Broome) We are also in dire need of funding/support. This is an all volunteer effort, but housing/lodging will be needed. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation via www.ppath.org All funds collected will go to rescue efforts - no salaries, no advertising, no administrative costs! Checks can be mailed to: PATH Inc. 151 First Avenue Suite 161 New York, NY 10003 www.ppath.org Supplies can be mailed to: PATH c/o 420 Palm Lake Drive Pensacola, FL 32507 To learn how you can volunteer to help call 617-354-2826 Our Hen House will be blogging/podding about our efforts in the region and how you can help.
