Crafts for a Cause!

Most Saturday mornings Leah Dodd of Irondale is at the Red Cat Coffee House selling rings she’s made from beads and recycled wire. Unable to directly help the wildlife affected by the Gulf oil spill, she donates the proceeds of the jewelry sales to the Alabama Wildlife Center who is helping at the Oiled Avian Center in Theodore, AL.

Pictured above, Leah is meeting Alabama Wildlife Center ambassador Ireland the Red-tailed Hawk, held by AWC Education Director Sandra Allinson.

How will you use your skills and talents to help wildlife?
