Send items from Amazon, Chewy or Walmart
We have put together a list of items that the chimpanzees would enjoy. While the sanctuary provides food and shelter, the staff and volunteers create stimulating environments for them through the use of enrichment. They introduce new foods, smells and other "toys" into the habitats to provide them opportunities to engage in natural behaviors.
Help us treat the chimpanzees by providing something they can sniff, stomp, chew or cuddle!
You can also treat our staff and volunteers by selecting tools or office supplies; coffee is always appreciated!
Consider selecting a new item to have delivered directly to us from any of these Wish Lists:
You can also send us a gift card from your favorite store including Home Depot, Lowes, Ingles, Safeway, and IKEA are welcome.
You can also make donations by signing up for iGive or Walmart's Spark Good! Just shop as normal after you enroll and small donations will add up to support the chimps!

Won't You Help?
This project would not be possible without our many generous individual supporters and volunteers. We rely on donations to fulfill our mission, including caring for our existing residents and expanding the sanctuary to accommodate those chimpanzees still waiting in the lab.
