Thank you!!

Thank you for your support and for donating towels! You really helped us with our Girl Scout Bronze Award project and you helped to make animals happy. We collected 451 towels from a towel drive at El Carmelo school and from our neighbors and friends. We feel really proud that we collected so many towels to help comfort the animals.

We hope to receive our Bronze Award at Global Thinking Day on February 25th. We’re so excited!

If you find more towels that you do not need, there are two ways to continue to donate:
1. Animal Shelter/Hospital
You can take your towels directly to any animal hospital or animal shelter. There is “no such thing as too many towels.”
2. My Porch
You can leave the towels on my porch (2573 Bryant St.) and I will deliver them to the animal hospital or animal shelter.

Our Bronze Award Project

Hello! 
My name is Allie. My friend Gabby and I are working on our Girl Scout Bronze Award. For our project we are collecting towels for the animals at animal shelters and animal hospitals. The towels comfort the animals and help them feel less scared during their visit or stay.

What to Donate 
We are collecting old/used, clean towels of any size (beach towels, bath towels, hand towels, face towels, etc.). Stains are okay as long as the towels are clean.

How to Donate 
There are three ways to donate:
1. Your Porch
If you got a flyer on your porch, please leave a pile of towels on your porch. We will collect the towels the following week.

2. El Carmelo Elementary School
We are holding a school-wide Towel Drive the week of January 22-26 and will have a collection bin by the office. You can drop off towels there.

3. My Porch
You can leave the towels on my porch and I will deliver them to the animal hospital or animal shelter.

Why I Chose My Project 
We took my cat, Lucy, to the vet. She got scared because it was a new and scary place to her. We were using my mom’s coat for her to sit on because there weren’t any towels, but then she got so scared she barfed! The other reason is because we adopted my other cat, Roscoe, from the animal shelter a few years ago. The people we talked to at these places said that they could always use more towels and there was no such thing as too many towels.
