START supports Satchel’s Last Resort by collecting the much needed supplies to help maintain the shelter. The donated items that are on their ‘Wish List’ can be found at Wish List - Satchel’s Last Resort. We have three drop off locations for our members.
2B Kind
2B Kind is an animal outreach program that is focused on finding solutions for animals and their owners in need of prescription food, medical assistance, or medicine. Sales from their Thrift Store fund these efforts. They take both clothing and household items. Since it is local, items can easily be dropped off.
