just a reminder for all of you wonderful coupon crazy people...the animal shelters not only need food donated...they also need blankets, animal toys, any cages you may have, litter, and things you may have way too much of in your stockpiles including paper towels, cleaners (especially bleach) mine will take any cleaner i give them, rubber gloves, napkins, tissues, wipes, hand soap, hand sanitizers, garbage bags, baggies, laundry detergent, etc if you have way too much of something just give your shelter a call and see if they need what u have...you never know i just listed a few i wouldnt normally think of but im sure there are more

also it can never hurt to think of the people that care for the animals..most of them are on donated time so a little gift of appreciation or just the extra hand sanatizers make them more comfortable and its a little thank u that the pets cannot say to them
