Volunteer with ARA
Wish ListIf you are planning to visit Manzanillo, or are a part-time resident, please keep us in mind. We gladly accept donations of pet care products, cages, carriers, leashes, surgical/medical equipment and supplies. We also accept inexpensive gift items that we will store and sell at our yearly Christmas Bazaar. If you can carry items with you when you come to Manzanillo, it would be greatly appreciated. Contact us via email before you come and we will arrange to meet with you while you are here.
Shipping to Mexico is very difficult and can be taxed a great deal by Customs, so we rely on folks coming down for these sorts of items. We can provide you with a letter to show Customs that your items are for charity donation if you would like one.
We also would like to hear any ideas you have to share about fund raising, fostering programs, grant writing and whatever you may think would be useful ... please send your ideas along in an email. All suggestions, tips and assistance are welcome and appreciated.
