Volunteer: Goat Conspiracy Wish List!

WHY DONATE? Goat Conspiracy is always looking for kind donors to help us out!

WHO WILL BENEFIT? Most of our time and resources go toward taking care of our animals!

DONATION DELIVERY: 6030 E Kent Road, Bloomington, IN 47401

CONTACT: Amy Osajima, amy@thegoatconspiracy.org, 812-727-4220
If you would like to make a donation, just call or email!

The Goat Conspiracy began as a small local sustainably-oriented farm and creamery. After almost a decade of working the farm, we began to understand gaps that could not be closed with respect to sustainability and animal welfare. In the winter of 2024, we began our "transfarmation" into a sanctuary/retirement home for our goats and chickens.

We would love for you to visit the Goat Conspiracy and learn more about our story, how we saw ourselves as an alternative to factory farms, but ended up realizing the impact of dairy among other forms of animal agriculture are neither sustainable nor truly in line with animal welfare. We offer farm visits/tours, yoga classes, birthday parties and hold a variety of events on the farm (follow us on Facebook or Instagram or sign up for our newsletter at the bottom of our home page).

THE BIG STUFF

Our biggest need right now is a farm truck or van. If you or someone you know has an old truck taking up space -- it doesn't have to be pretty -- we will happily give it a home.Kubota or Gator style vehicle to help us get around the farm quickly. Even a golf cart would be great!

Volunteer: MALL (Mobility Aids Lending Library) Wish List

MALL Needs Space!
Mobility Aids Lending Library is a Bloomington-based 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization that collects donated medical equipment and distributes it to those in need. MALL provides an average of 7 clients per week with wheelchairs, shower chairs, walkers, and other equipment free of charge -- and the need is only increasing. MALL needs room to grow!
Thanks to so many of our community members who have donated devices, we have outgrown our rented room in the basement of the First Christian Church. Sadly, with our current limited space, we often have to turn down larger items such as Hoyer lifts and hospital beds, and we can only accept a few power wheelchairs and mobility scooters at a time. But with your help, we can change this!
MALL is seeking a donated or low-cost office space that is at least 800 ft.² to accommodate equipment storage and a small office/client meeting area. We would be open to a space in a shopping mall, strip mall, office building, climate-controlled warehouse, etc. However, a self-storage facility wouldn’t work for our needs. 
Our office must be centrally located and near a bus line as many of our clients and volunteers do not drive. Downtown, campus, or the College Mall area would be ideal. We strongly prefer a space on the first floor with no elevator required for access. If possible, we need space in a building with a parking lot or ample street parking nearby.
If anyone has suggestions for such a space — and for funding/sponsorship for our growth, of course – please contact us at MALLbloomington@gmail.com.

Thank you!

Volunteer: CanINE Express Wish List

WHY DONATE? Help Keep Our Wheels Rollin' to Receiving Shelter Partners & Help shelter animals with our in-kind gifts

ABOUT US: The CanINE Express Transport Project humanely transports shelter animals from south-central Indiana, -- areas with pet overpopulation -- to shelters in areas in our country where there is a need for well-socialized, healthy cats and dogs. This interstate project, which began with its maiden voyage in December 2004 and currently has more than 30 partner shelters, has successfully transported 12,394 Indiana shelter dogs and 792 shelter cats. A benefit that wasn’t visualized at the project’s beginning is that our partners have shared best sheltering practices including spay/neuter education, medical care, promoting adoptions, increasing volunteerism, and political activism to build and grow State legislation related to animal issues.

WHO WILL BENEFIT? Donations to the CanINE Express directly will benefit south-central Indiana shelter dogs and cats to help them "go home" more quickly by changing their venue to another shelter where they will be adopted.

Volunteer: Used Stamp Collections Needed for Veterans

ALA Unit 18 is partnering with Stamps for the Wounded. Drop them off at the Burton Woolery Post 18 and then ALA Unit 18 will send them off to Stamps for the Wounded.  If you cannot get to the Post, then contact Jenny Tracy jtracy@ciswired.com to coordinate a pick up.

 

Stamps for the Wounded (SFTW) is a service organization dedicated to providing comfort and stimulating activity to U.S. veterans through stamp collecting. SFTW sends donated postage stamps and other philatelic material and supplies to wounded, ill, and isolated veterans. SFTW has been helping veterans since 1942.

 

One way that you can help our veterans is to save / gather envelopes from the mail coming to your home, business, fraternal or volunteer organization, neighborhood, etc. You can then clip most of the postage stamps from the envelopes and send them to SFTW. We will send them to veterans to sort, soak and arrange for their own collections. 

 

Stamps that can be collected are:

Postage stamps, whether they are on paper or off paper.

Postage stamps from the USA or from any other country in the world.

Computer-generated postage labels.

Postal stationary : envelopes with pre-printed “stamps”; postal cards with a pre-printed “stamp”; aerogrammes. These should not be clipped, they are more collectible as entire pieces.

 

How to Clip Stamps

Carefully clip, or tear the paper around outer edges of the perforations around the stamp. Do not clip off the perforations … this ruins the stamp. Please leave at least 1/4″ of margin around the outside edges of the performations of the stamp which makes it easier to soak the stamp from the envelope.

If clipping from an envelope corner, remove the back and side flaps.

Please do not try to steam, soak, pull or peel the stamps off the paper. Our veterans will do this, as part of the fun work of stamp collecting.

Please do not cut stamps from older envelopes (pre-1941) or from more modern envelopes if they have special markings, such as “First Day of Issue” cancellations, very interesting cancellations, routing markings or “Postage Due” notations, etc.

Postal stationary (postal cards, stamped envelopes, aerogrammes) should not be clipped.

Picture postcards should not be clipped. Postcards without stamps are also acceptable to send.

If you are in doubt about whether to clip the stamp from the envelope, please don’t. Send us the entire envelope and we’ll sort it.

 

THIS EFFORT ALLOWS VETERANS AN OPPORTUNITY TO REHABILIATE, NETWORK, AND SOCIALZE.

Volunteer: Pets Alive Wish List!

Spay neuter saves lives! Since opening in 2005, Pets Alive has performed over 215,000 spay/neuter surgeries. Simply put, spay/neuter is the most effective and long lasting way to reduce the number of animals entering shelters.

Our mission is to provide the compassionate solution to end the unnecessary euthanasia of cats and dogs by offering affordable, high-quality spay/neuter services. 

The Pets Alive Wellness Clinic offers another critical service to ALL members of our community:  low-cost vaccinations, flea/tick medications, microchipping, heartworm testing and more. Income from our Wellness Clinic helps to fund surgeries, as our operational costs are not covered by what we charge. We rely upon the generosity of our friends who care about Pets Alive and the work that we do!

URGENT NEED 6/2022

We're running low on cat food! 

We feed every patient as they wake up from surgery but we are running low on our supply! We especially need canned cat food to help support our Community Cat days– we saw 81 patients in just ONE day in April.  

You can drop donations off at our office Monday-Thursday, 8am-5pm, or shop our wishlist through Amazon and have it shipped directly to us.
