ANIMAL FOUNDATION SEEKS LINENS

The Animal Foundation, 655 N. Mojave Road , is seeking donations of new and gently used linens, including towels, blankets, sheets, pillow cases, T-shirts and sweat shirts.

The Animal Foundation is an open-admission animal shelter and pet adoption center. During summer, the nonprofit foundation receives more than 100 animals per day.

Donated linens are used to make the animals more comfortable and to keep the young and underweight animals warm.

Due to the cleaning procedures for donated linens, items must be washed in a high bleach-to-water concentration, which breaks down materials quickly. Additionally, once an item has been torn, it cannot be used again. Items with stuffing , such as comforters, pillows and dog beds, can be used only once as they cannot be completely disinfected.

Linens can be dropped off from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily at the shelter.
