I
often shop at thrift stores for old board games, and realized that they carry
many items that might be able to help us restock the WBS intern and staff
housing units. After talking with
Jan Falcon of the St. Vincent De Paul Thrift Store we were allowed to go on a
shopping spree.

I
filled our van and later filled our on-site intern and staff apartments with
everything from knives and forks to medicine cabinets--and of course board
games. Many people don’t realize
what it takes to run an organization like The World Bird Sanctuary. We need support of all kinds and
everyone can help in their own way.
Please support those who support us. Some people are Saints!
The
World Bird Sanctuary has always supplied housing to many of our staff and
interns. For many years it was an
old farmhouse built in 1850. We
have modernized it and now, in addition, we have many economy apartments
throughout our site.
There
are many items within our housing that still needed some updating. Although we have a wish list of items
needed for the birds there are many household items needed by the staff and
interns residing at the sanctuary, such as toasters, lamps, couches, etc.
The
St. Vincent De Paul thrift shop nearest to WBS is located in Ballwin at 14660
Manchester Road and they really have been Saints for all of us at the World
Bird Sanctuary.
