As winter sets in, the colder temperatures bring unique challenges to Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge.
Keeping our animals safe, warm, and comfortable during this season comes at a significant cost—but it’s a commitment we make without hesitation.
Overall, the refuge costs money each winter season to upkeep its facilities, update its sources of heat, and keep things running.
This means your contribution will go twice as far, helping us:
✅ Upgrade heating in older dens
✅ Enhance insulation to conserve heat
✅ Upgrade infrastructure to meet top animal welfare standards
We invite you to join this game-changing effort and help us reach our $200,000 goal. Your support will make a direct, lasting impact on the well-being of all TCWR’s animal residents, ensuring their safety and comfort from Rescue to Refuge.
Thanks to the generous $100,000 gift from Richard and Beverly Gooch, every donation will be matched 1:1 until we reach $200,000!
When you donate to The Rescue to Refuge Fund, you play a vital role in keeping all the TCWR animals warm during the winter months. Your support helps us maintain the Refuge’s habitats, continually upgrade our care for the animals, and cover essential costs like emergency medical care. The Rescue to Refuge Fund allows us to meet the ever-changing demands of sanctuary life.
As the temperatures drop, we need your help to ensure the animals at Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge stay safe and warm.
We’re making progress, but we need your support to close the gap. Here’s how you can make an impact this winter:
