Melbourne Avian Rescue Sanctuary

Fun, fundraising, M.A.R.S. Yard sales

Although it is often a difficult task to put together these sales, it seems  they have become the only sure fire way to raise much needed funds for the parrots of M.A.R.S. We do receive a certain amount of donations from some very caring individuals but nothing that provides the on going funding necessary to keep a rescue operational.

 

So now comes the task of  keeping up the flow of funds by continuing to clean out and breakdown estate sales and yard sales,  acquiring as much resalable goods as we can    possibly store here at Melbourne Avian Rescue Sanctuary  in our outback barn area.

 

Then of course it becomes time to actually  schedule, organize, and set up the sale and pray it does not rain on the days we choose. Against a lot of odds we pull these sales off but the biggest obstacle of all is a volunteer pool willing to put in many hours of prep time as well

 

Here is where the difficulty lies. The time it takes away from the rescue which is in itself a full time job,  makes keeping up this way of funding more and more difficult.

 

Although no other alternative has shown itself and of course we are very  great full this way has proved so successful. It is becoming increasingly hard to keep up the pace.

 

We are now putting it out there to all of you who follow M.A.R.S. to give us your best suggestions for seeking and finding resources and funding for this coming year.  Thank you to all who read this message.

Your end of the year charitable donations helps M.A.R.S. to help all of them in the New Year.

All here at Melbourne Avian Rescue Sanctuary, ask that with all your hearts you remember us at this time of the year. When it so means the most to us, that your end of the year charitable donations, will allow M.A.R.S. to start the new year knowing that we will have the ability to continue helping the parrots and the people who need us, and count on us to be here for them.

A huge shout out to all our future new supporters, and a heartfelt thanks to those of you who are continuing to do so. Knowing, that you, have seen and understand the need for rescues such as ours to exist and maintain and hopefully grow, means our voice for all of them is being heard.

To all of you from all of us here at our exotic bird rescue simply known as M.A.R.S.. we wish to you and yours a very healthy and happy and wonderful New Year.

Happy beaks for the holidays, time to fill up the toy tree.

IMG_0397 Time once again to fill up the Christmas tree with toys galore for all the parrots who reside here at our exotic bird rescue. Located in Melbourne Beach Florida, Melbourne Avian Rescue Sanctuary better known as M.A.R.S. for the short version is asking all of you to participate in filling up the tree once again. This toy drive was so successful last year because of all of you who made it happen. M.A.R.S. hopes to fill the tree and have enough left over to last for three to possibly four months. Toys keep them happy and busy, and yes the best reason of all “QUIET”.

All monitary donations can be made right here on our website using credit cards and paypal. Of course the old fashion way of mailing a check works just as well, just not as fast. Once we have reached our goal of $500.00, please note our minimum wholesale order needs to be $300.00 to start, then we will order away and fill the tree for all to see.

Thank-you to all who participate in the making of the “Toy Tree” All of us both avian and human thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Yes to all that noticed this is a pic from last year, as I am still dealing with putting away our (over the top) yard sale remains, and well putting up the tree is very time consuming, any volunteers??
