Sale of donated jewelry and personal and home accessories to benefit the city animal shelter–via special events and at the shelter’s resale store (The Thrifty Kitty).
Jewelry and More!
Biggest Takeaway:
- How generous people are in donating items and time to benefit rescued animals.
Biggest Challenge
- We handle about 10,000 pieces of jewelry a year–it is a very large volume of working with small pieces and can at times be tedious.
Project Impact:
- In 2022, our project raised $70,000 for the shelter. One use for these funds was the purchase of ten animal respirators. These were donated to the fire department who had not previously had any. Now animals overcome by smoke inhalation have a better chance at survival.
Participants:
- 3 Dozen Volunteers
