A carload of donations for the animals!

Molly happily visits with Arya

When Arya, a rising 9th grader, decided to help HRA help the animals as a means of earning her Girl Scout Silver Award, she decided to spearhead a linen collection. But, not just any linen collection, she contacted local hotels and asked if they would donate their castoff towels and sheets to HRA. The Omni Shoreham hotel on Calvert Street, N.W. said that they routinely donate their used linens to other organizations, but would be happy to make regular contributions to HRA, too. Arya's mom served as linen transporter. Her sedan was packed (trunk and back seat) full of bags of white towels and sheets. The linens came at a crucial time for the shelter. Our shelters are filled to capacity with cats, dogs, puppies, and kittens waiting for homes. Linens are used for cleaning kennels, bathing animals, and bedding.
Thanks, Arya, for arranging the Omni's generous donation and employing your mom to help get the linens to HRA. There are lots of white towels and sheets being used in our kennels today!
