2011 Basic Needs Day of Action

In order to meet the increased need in Nashville, The United Way has extended the length of their Basic Needs Day of Action to the entire month of September, with the goal of doubling last year’s impact through items delivered to the community.  Read on:

Join us through September 30th in collecting basic needs items to help meet these critical needs. On Friday, September 30, meet us at United Way for the Basic Needs Sort-a-Thon and Delivery.

Can’t make it? Support the Basic Needs Day of Action by donating online. Retail partners help us leverage your monetary donation to buy more items for less.

"giving wildlife a second chance."

Did you know we receive grants for being an ENVIRONMENTAL AND CONSERVATION ORGANIZATION as well as for being an ANIMAL ORGANIZATION!

Walden’s Puddle is the only professionally staffed wildlife rehabilitation and education center in middle Tennessee. We offer a service to humans and animals! We admit over 2,000 injured and orphaned animals of over 100 different species per year. People in our community who take the time to rescue an animal in need bring them to us! Our return to the wild rate is above the national average.

Please feel free to contact our CEO Lane Brody at 615-714-4002  or  Lane@lanebrody.com if you are interested in talking over the possibility of how to make “The Puddle” your charity for a special day, week, month or year that you plan for your companies charitable giving! We also offer many volunteer opportunities!

For more information and to see our “wish list” please visit our website at www.waldenspuddle.org
