Support Wildlife, Score a Deal, and Make It a Family Outing (with Snacks!)
Picture this: You’re out tackling yard work when—oops!—you spot a garter snake slithering away from your weed whacker with a gash in its scaly skin.
Your kid has captured it and named it “Sir Hiss A Lot,” and you’re wondering…who do you even call for snake first aid?
That’s where wildlife rehabilitators come in, and this August, you can support the amazing people who help Michigan’s wild (and furry) residents when they need it most with a massive garage sale fundraiser.
The 4th Annual Wildlife Fundraiser Sale is a weekend-long community event packed with treasures, homemade treats, and feel-good vibes—all for a great cause.

A Garage Sale Like No Other
This isn’t your average garage sale fundraiser. You’ll find thousands of items, from gently-used goods to artisan creations.
While you browse, grab a donut, sip some coffee (yes, please), and let the kids try their luck at the instant raffle.
It’s part shopping trip, part pastry run, part animal rescue mission…and all animal-loving heart.

Two Amazing Rescues, One Wildly Important Cause
All proceeds benefit All Creatures Deserving and Wild Whiskers, two southwest Michigan nonprofits working around the clock to rescue, rehab, and release wildlife.
All Creatures Deserving specializes in wildlife rehabilitation, helping everything from baby squirrels and bunnies to injured birds and opossums.
Their mission? Rescue, rehabilitate, and release—with a vast network of trained rehabbers ready to jump in when animals need help.
Wild Whiskers pulls double duty, rescuing both domestic animals and wildlife.
From orphaned kittens to a garter snake recovering from a weed whacker wound, their team has seen it all.
They’ve even helped an Eastern Box Turtle with a cracked shell make a complete comeback.
If it’s furry, scaly, shelled, or slithering, Wild Whiskers is ready to step up.
Got Stuff To Clear Out? They’ll Take It!
If your garage or basement is overflowing with last year’s yard sale leftovers, now’s the time to donate it for a good cause (and claim your space back).
Event organizers are currently collecting donations of clean, sale-worthy items, like:
- Kitchenware
- Furniture and decor
- Toys and books
- Clothing and shoes
- Pet supplies (carriers, leashes, halters, etc.)
- Tools
Contact All Creatures Deserving on Facebook to coordinate your donation drop-off.
Sponsorships: Have a local business or want to go the extra mile? Sponsorship opportunities are also available. Great exposure for your brand and a boost for the cause.
Bonus Resource: Help Michigan Wildlife Year-Round
If you ever stumble upon an injured animal and don’t know who to call, save this Michigan DNR list of licensed wildlife rehabilitators.
It’s a handy reference if you or your curious kids ever find a hurt, displaced, or orphaned animal.
Can’t attend the sale but still want to help? Donations are the lifeblood of these rescues.
Both organizations welcome monetary donations and Amazon wishlist contributions year-round.
