🧺 Our shelter is FULL of kittens, stray dogs, and our adoptable animals! We go through SO much laundry daily- and we’re falling a little behind.
🐾We are seeking volunteers to pick up a bag or two of laundry to wash and return to the shelter or come in and keep our washer and drier going and fold laundry!
If you’re willing to help, please apply to volunteer online!
