🐶 NJHS Service Project 🐱 🐶 NJHS Service Project 🐱

NJHS is in need of clean fleece material, either from large scraps of material not being used, from old blankets, or from those inexpensive holiday blankets sometimes sold at Fred Meyer.


We will be making no-sew beds for shelter animals as our next service project, so the material needs to be big enough for an animal.


We need any/all material donations by March 27th. They can be brought to the main office, or to Mrs. Limb's or Mrs. Foss's rooms


Thank you for helping us with this project!
