WHS/WARL's wish-list is long. Toys and treats are always needed and often generously purchased for the animals in our care. Less glamorous, but needed just as much, if not more so, are the things that we use, and use-up, everyday -- paper towels, dish and liquid soaps trash bags and Ziploc bags,
Brightwood Education Campus' pre-k, kindergarten and first grade counselor Senovia Hurtado, a long-time Washington Humane Society supporter and proponent of humane education, guides her young learners through a series of lessons promoting civic engagement, placing particular emphasis on all acts of kindness -- no matter how big or small -- make a difference. The enthusiastic Brightwood "bucket-fillers" and their families recently completed a supply drive for the animals -- filling boxes and packing my car to the point where I could not see out the back window. Once unloaded, a member of the WHS/WARL animal care team commented, "This is just what we needed." Helping shelters to care for the animals encourages kindness throughout the community! Thank you Brightwood Education Campus Bucket-Fillers!
