Help the Friends help the animals at Willowbrook Wildlife Center.
Stop by the Friends' booth to help create snuffle mats to encourage the animal patients and permanently injured residents to use their noses to find food. But first bring an item or two from home from Willowbrook’s wish list to help meet the animals’ needs for comfort, housing, and enrichment. We have a goal of filling up an electric hatchback full of supplies to deliver to the center!
