More Information

While we appreciate every donation, we must sometimes respectfully decline certain items to comply with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations and conserve resources. Certain items can be costly to dispose of or require significant time from our staff, diverting financial and staff resources away from our programs. As stewards of your generosity, we are committed to ensuring that all contributions directly and effectively support our mission.
