Quick answer: Ask what Dalo Acres currently needs, choose one category, set a deadline, collect safe approved items, label everything clearly, and coordinate delivery before the drive starts.

Current Needs | In-Kind Donations

Ask before you collect

Supply drives work best when they are aimed at real needs. Before gathering items, check the current needs page or contact Dalo Acres. This prevents waste, clutter, unsafe items, or donations the sanctuary cannot use.

Choose one lane

A focused drive is easier to explain and more likely to succeed. Pick feed support, bedding, cleaning supplies, towels, gift cards, fencing support, or another approved category. One strong lane beats ten scattered ones.

Finish clean

Set a deadline, sort donations, avoid expired or unsafe items, and coordinate drop-off. A good supply drive should make sanctuary life easier, not create extra work.
