"Maloney Farm and Forest" can use your help

via Lauren Maloney:

"If you know us, you know that we rescue/adopt farm animals and have them live out their golden years at our home. It was a rough winter on our yard supplies and animal housing/shelters, we took on some new animals in the fall that needed homes and to be loved forever. 

We are asking for help, and our ask is simple, as your cleaning out your garages, basements and sheds, if you have any items that you were looking to get rid of, please consider messaging us so we can pick them up. 

We are specifically looking for:

• Plywood, 2x4s and scrap wood
• yard tools, like shovels and rakes 
• Hoses, any length
• Fence panels
• Cinder blocks, rubber or concrete pavers
• Small kiddie pools

Thank you so much for reading this post. 

We would love to have visitors to meet our animals too, feel free to follow our journey at Maloney Farm and Forest "
