How can I help?

Bring in a couple of these items on your own, or have your group do a supply drive for the shelter. We appreciate any help with these much needed items!
Once collected, bring them by the shelter any day of the week from 8am until sunset, and don't forget to ask for a receipt for your tax deductable donation!
