If you want to help the wildlife impacted by the oil spill on the Kalamazoo River, you can take your donated supplies to the Ingham County Animal Control (ICAC) officesat 600 Curtis Street in Mason (click here for map).
ICAC has been asked for help in gathering much-needed supplies for animal victims of the spill. According to Director, Jamie McAloon Lampman, “They are not asking for volunteers at this point but they do desperately need the following items for the wild life in the Marshall- Battle Creek area that have been impacted”.
Much-needed supplies that are URGENT to the survival of the animals affected in the Calhoun County Area are:
- Non-Flavored Pedialyte
- Vanilla flavored Ensure
- Towels with NO snags
- Empty spray bottles
- Tupperware containers with lids. Must be either rectangular or square shapes.
ICAC volunteers will make sure the items are transported to Marshall, MI, where a command post at the Crossroads Church (77 Old US 27) to receive donations. (The command center will accept donations around the clock.) For more information, call 517.676.8376 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 517.676.8376 end_of_the_skype_highlighting
