During the month of December, RCA continued its support for the local animal shelter. The group decided to continue its pet toying and blanket making event due to the start of the colder season.
For this event, the group members recycled t-shirts and sourced fleece to create the blankets from. The members who worked on the toys used two different braiding techniques and expanded their knowledge.
Many local animal shelter have been in distress due to overpopulation. Oftentimes these animals stay in the shelter for days if not weeks and months with little to no entertainment. This has a negative impact on the animals. The group hopes that these toys and blankets will help alleviate the loneliness and the boredom that many of these animals are experiencing. By recycling old t-shirts the group also helped reduce the trash on the landfills thus helping the environment at the same time.
