Food and Supply donations

The expression “hungry as a bear” takes on a whole new meaning when you have four growing bear cubs with unrelenting appetites. Each cub currently eats 25 pounds of food a day. With four bear cubs, that is 700 pounds of food every week! We need ongoing help into the future providing food and enrichment for these bear cubs.   

So that our staff is able to plan and purchase food for feedings ahead of time, we are asking that food donations be made on Fridays and Saturdays. Enrichment drop offs can be made Tuesday through Thursdays. When you arrive to the center, park near the front door. There is a food donation table set up next to the front door. Please make any food donations during our business hours of 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM.  

Please DO NOT drop off overripe produce. We've scheduled these time slots days prior to when we will be using them so that we can plan to purchase additional food if needed. Over ripe produce will likely be thrown away, resulting in our staff having to spend additional time sorting and transporting the produce to the dump. Additionally, do to limited storage availability, please also make sure that any produce is ripe and ready to eat or will be ready to eat within a day or two of drop off, the bears will not eat tart, under ripe fruit.   

IMPORTANT: PLEASE DO NOT DROP OFF DONATIONS WITHOUT SIGNING UP FOR A SLOT USING THE LINK BELOW!
