The Kinship Circle/ARF supply storehouse in Mobile, AL is no longer accepting NEW supplies—except for very specific and/or veterinary items.

We need transporters NOW to deliver our existing supplies!

As the rescue effort shifts from national groups to local organizations, needs have changed. Due to your generosity, most Katrina-related animal relief locations are inundated with supplies. Dog food and other everyday items have been turned away... But Rita-hit areas and some Katrina sites still need supplies.

Here’s the problem: Our Mobile, AL supply storehouse is filled to the brim! We don’t need more “stuff.” We need drivers to transport supplies from Mobile, AL to Abbeville, Lake Charles, and other Rita regions where cows and horses are stranded and starving. Where returning evacuees have no resources to feed their companion animals. And where animals live in abandoned homes with notes asking they be fed.

CALLING ALL TRANSPORTERS FOR THE MOBILE EXPRESS
1.) We need drivers with large vehicles (trucks, empty horse trailers, SUV caravans, etc.)
2.) Any transport volunteers must be willing to load and unload supplies at both ends of trip.
(Poor little Julia has been doing this alone! She needs backup).

SUPPLY NEEDS (10/6/05):
