Host a Donation Drive
One of the most impactful ways to support Desert Oasis Rescue & Sanctuary is by organizing a donation drive in your community. Schools, businesses, churches, youth groups, and neighborhood organizations can all help collect supplies that go directly toward caring for the animals in our sanctuary.
Every bag of feed, bale of hay, or roll of paper towels helps stretch our resources further and ensures the animals in our care receive the food, shelter, and medical support they need.
What is a Donation Drive?
A donation drive is a simple way to gather supplies for the animals by inviting friends, coworkers, or community members to donate items from our Most Needed Items list.
Donation drives can be hosted by:
- Local businesses
- Schools and clubs
- Church groups
- Neighborhood organizations
- Youth groups
- Individuals who want to help
Even small drives can make a big impact!
We can provide letters verifying community service, as well as promotional materials, for your Donation Drive.
How to Host a Drive - It's Easier than You Might Think!
Step 1 - Choose a Location
Select a place where people can easily drop off items, such as your workplace, school, church, or community center.
Step 2 - Pick a Timeframe
Most drives run for 1 - 2 weeks, but even a weekend drive is helpful!
Encourage people to bring items from our list, so we receive supplies that are immediately useful.
Step 3 - Share Our List
Step 4 - Collect Donations
Use a box, bin, or designated area where items can be dropped off.
Step 5 - Contact Us for Delivery
Once the drive is complete, reach out and we'll coordinate pickup or drop-off.
