Instructions

You may want to consider hosting your drive at your school, place of worship, local businss or in your neighborhood. (Be sure to get permission from the necessary adults involved.) Decorate collection boxes to be displayed. Create flyers on a computer or decorate posters announcing the collection. You should include the items you hope to collect. Get a list of such items from https://heavenlypets.org/ways-to-give/shop-and-wishlists/" target="_blank" rel="noopenerour Wish List or check out the list below. You can also use social media and email to help promote your drive. Wait for items to start rolling in. (You may want to collect the items from the collection boxes from time and time and move them to your house or another storage location during the course of the drive.)
