Since the mission of the museum is to help create a bond between the individual and the natural world, and frequently a child’s first introduction to an animal is through a pet dog or cat, we have decided to partner, for our 2018 Holiday Charity Drive, with two local shelters that place rescued animals in forever homes—the Animal Rescue Fund (ARF) and the Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation.

From November 24, 2018 until January 5, 2019 you can drop off monetary contributions, gently used blankets, sheets, towels, and new dog and cat toys, eared marked for either or both of these organizations, at the South Fork Natural History Museum (SoFo) at 377 Bridgehampton/Sag Harbor Turnpike in Bridgehampton. SoFo will deliver the donations to these organizations on January 5, 2019.
