Season's Feedings this Giving Tuesday

For what do we give thanks during the holidays at Woodland Park Zoo?

• FOOD: We love a filling meal and our animals do too! Did you know that the zoo goes through more than 15,600 pounds of food each year to feed over 300 species of animals?
• FAMILY: You are our family, along with more than 1,000 animals, 1,000 volunteers, 3,000 donors, 43,000 member households and 400 staff.  
• GIVING: Giving feels good, as does giving thanks.   

Will you join us in sharing these simple ideals this Giving Tuesday by helping us raise $30,000 today? If you make a gift today, a generous group of donors will match it dollar for dollar (up to $15,000), doubling your impact! We give thanks for every contribution, of any size.

Your gift will help provide vitamin-packed meals and tasty treats this winter! As but a few examples:

• $15 could feed red panda Steller biscuits, bamboo and fruit
• $25 could feed gray wolf Doba whole chicken and rabbit
• $40 could feed snow leopard Helen chicken, turkey and mutton
• $65 could feed brown bears Denali and Keema  yams, celery, oranges and salmon

Your gifts not only help feed our zoo animal family this holiday season, they also support world-class preventative medicine, animal husbandry, nutritional plans and enrichment programs tailored for each animal.
