miwsParticipantHappy Hot Mid-August Everyone!
Just received the latest needs list from Nickelsville, from the e-mail alert from NV’s Central Committee meeting this morning:
Greetings from your Nickelodeon friends! We hope everyone is doing well. We are sending out a rather urgent update regarding our camp and its current needs. While we do our best to keep our expenses to a minimum, our population has grown; proof that homelessness is alive and thriving. Our most urgent need is money. The cost of sheer, basic sanitation and emergency needs for up to 150 men, women, and children is roughly $3,000.00 per month. 4 Honey Buckets, 1 Dumpster, 2 Cell phones, and gasoline to run our generator. Donations to Nickelsville are tax deductible.
Nickelsville
PO Box 2548
Seattle 98111
In additon to monetary donations the camp is in need of:
–water deliveries (you can grab one or more 5 gallon cans at Nickelsville, fill them, and return.)
–pet supplies such as canned pet food, leashes, collars, etc.
–rat and fly traps
–food storage containers, large (for our pantry) or small (for individuals, such as Christmas cookie tins.)
–first aid supplies such as band aids, ointment, etc. as well as over the counter medications like aspirn.
–canned and non-perishible food, as we don’t have refrigeration
–pallets and other non-treated wood for cooking fires
Meanwhile, stay tuned for upcoming information regarding Nickelsville’s 4th Birthday Party on September 22 at 2:00 P.M. We look forward to seeing you there!
Respectfully,
Nickelsville Central Committee

WS BornMemberHi Mike,
Do you know what size of collars and pet leashes are needed? Small dogs/cats or big dogs?
August 16, 2012 at 4:19 pm #767175
miwsParticipantHi WS Born, not being in Camp currently, I’m not sure what the needs are. JoB, might at least have an idea of the proportion of large vs small pets there right now.
Otherwise, if you wanted to check in with one of the Pet Co-Ordinators, they could let you know.
Last I knew, “Dean” and Brian S” were the two Co-Ordinators.
Camp Phone is: 206-450-5268
Thanks!

JoBParticipanti believe there are currently more small dogs and nickelsville than large..
but there are more pets lately than i have seen before so i am pretty sure they can use anything

WS BornMemberThanks so much for responding. I will gather up some pet items and drop them off this weekend.

miwsParticipantCool!
Thanks, WS Born!
As NV’s original Pet Co-Ordinator, my heart is warm right now! :-)

miwsParticipantOh, and of course, thanks for the info Jo! :-)

Betty TMemberSorry for butting in but I sure would hate to sit her tomorrow with Nickelsville”s lunch.
WS Born
They are so glad and appreciative of all and any help, always. I’ll say “Thanks ” for them.

JoBParticipantIn camp today i was informed that they need cat harnesses… there are a lot of new cats…
and that those harnesses could be the ones made for dogs in size medium
since that is the size my shiba’s wear, it surprised me…
anyone have spare cat harnesses they could donate?
August 18, 2012 at 3:34 am #767182
JoBParticipantbtw.. big thanks to the people who brought down ice today….
i know it was really appreciated.

westcoastdebParticipantDoes NV have a garden area? I have several pumpkin sprouts and I would love to take a few down for the Halloween (or after) harvest.
