The items picked up by their truck are intended to be sold in their thrift store in Santa Maria which helps support the Ranch. This nonprofit is always the first one I contact for such donations. I've never had even the slightest problem with my pickup schedule & have always found each person I have dealt with to be very cordial and grateful. I would urge everyone to consider donating your good belongings that you no longer need, to RAD. If you have any concerns, check out the websites for their store & nonprofit. Finally, if you're still unsure, then please consider donating your items to another reputable nonprofit. They are some of today's many unsung Heroes.

Today I had a huge batch of good stuff for them and I received two calls reminding me that they were coming for the pick-up. It's now 7:30 pm and I had to get a huge tarp to put over the stuff to protect it from the night moisture in Los Osos. I called the lady that does the reminder calls but no answer, just a machine. I think this is my last donation with Rancho de los Animales! Too bad because it is a good cause.

I highly recommend donating a vehicle to Mission Cars to support their mission to provide veterans and first responders with service dogs.

I'll definitely encourage anyone seeking to donate a car to give their car to this charity and to support their cause.

There are many sites that they conserve, develop, restore, & construct. Some are listed below & can give you GO SLO IDEAS ;) Of course, I support, explore, & photograph much; since I love the views, sunrises, sunsets, creatures, galore. Borders/names between City, County, State, & Federal, beaches, parks, land, & other preserves, are ill defined. Yelp/Goggle Maps can perplex. SLO County's Coastline alone is 92 MILES & generates $1 BiLLION yr. from just tourism. Here, the Conservancy has protected or purchased close to 100,000 acres! Shell Beach & SLO's other 92 miles has coves, cliffs, creeks, & creatures. These endangered habitats need our help. Donations of money (see Website) or land help preserve our heritage, are greatly appreciated, & enjoyed by all who dare to EXPLORE! http://scc.ca.gov/about/ The Conservancy Main office is : California State Coastal Conservancy   State Government Office 1330 Broadway #1300, Oakland, CA 94612 (510) 286-1015/8AM-5PM "Our Mission The Coastal Conservancy acts with others to preserve, protect, and restore the resources of the California coast, ocean, and the San Francisco Bay Area. Our vision is of a beautiful, restored, and accessible coastline, ocean and San Francisco Bay Area. The Coastal Conservancy is a state agency, established in 1976, to protect and improve natural lands and waterways, to help people get to and enjoy the outdoors, and to sustain local economies along California's coast. The Conservancy is a non-regulatory agency that supports projects to protect coastal resources and increase opportunities for the public to enjoy the coast. The Conservancy implements statewide resource plans through its projects, including the California Water Action Plan, the Wildlife Action Plan, and many others. The Conservancy works along the entire length of California's coast and within the watersheds of rivers and streams that extend inland from the coast. The Coastal Conservancy also works throughout the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area and the entire Santa Ana River watershed. The Conservancy provides technical assistance and grant funding to local communities, nonprofit organizations, other government agencies, businesses, and private landowners to implement multi-benefit projects that: protect the natural and scenic beauty of the coast enhance wildlife habitat help the public to get to and enjoy beaches and parklands keep farmland and timberlands in production improve water quality revitalize working waterfronts prepare communities for the impacts of climate change The Conservancy has played a critical role in shaping California's coastal landscape as we know it today. Since its creation, the Conservancy has built hundreds of miles of trails and preserved hundreds of thousands of acres of wildlife habitat, coastal farmland, and scenic open space. Many of the most-loved scenic, natural, and recreational resources of the California coast and the San Francisco Bay Area have been protected by the work of the Conservancy and its many partners."...
