Here’s a list of things we are ALWAYS in need of. Or it’s as simple as following this link to donate now!
This list is intended for those coming to visit us and/or volunteer who have extra baggage space they’d like to fill with useful items.
We will try to keep it updated. Some things on the list are a bit odd or hard to find and definitely not urgent. Some are ongoing needs, and some are just indulgent items. Please do not buy anything new except seeds, food or something urgently needed.
Also, unless the item is urgently needed, please do not send anything via post or special carrier (Fed Ex, DHL). Duties paid on sent items can be very high.
