Drop off a new or giftable condition (tags on) stuffed animal to be given to children being adopted in Milwaukee County!
Thank you to our Junior Leader Billie for leading this event!
Activities
Select stuffies that are “classic” such as teddy bears, puppies, bunnies, kittens etc.
If you come to the MLK Day event you’ll have the chance to decorate a stuffie adoption certificate and/or “Congratulations on your adoption” card, too.
Impact
These new stuffies will go to a child the day they are adopted to make a special day even more memorable!
