Local youth collecting donations for homeless, animal shelter
Recently, Rachel (17 years old) and Bridget Unger (10 years old)
started a donation program called Comforting
Comforters. They have only a few more weeks to
collect donations in the area for the homeless of Darke County and for
local animal rescues and the Animal Shelter. So far, almost 50
blankets and almost 100 socks were delivered to CAP this week, and
several dog toys and treats were delivered to the animal shelter.
The businesses listed in this FB post on their page stepped up to host
boxes to collect donations. Is there any way this can be covered
so that they can get more donations to help more people? Their
Facebook page is here:
