Mothers Day Flowers Will Help Rescued Animals

Those buying flowers for mom at the Wildlife Rescue Center of the Hamptons in Hampton Bays will also be helping rescued animals.

Thursday through Saturday, the center will be selling hanging baskets with proceeds going directly toward medical care for wild animals brought to the 10-year-old center.

According to the center's staff, money is needed as they have seen an increase in animals in need of care.

Over the last several weeks, the center has been helping 20 animals a day from possums to birds, deer and rabbits.

Over the course of any given year, the center rescues some 2,100 wild animals.

Flowers will be available from 8:00 a.m to 6:00 p.m during the sale.
