= Pillowcase Drive=

We are seeking old pillowcases for one of our "pet" projects.

Waffle cones come packed between foam layers which used to be sent back to the manufacturer for reuse. About a year ago they stopped being able to do this due to shipping costs.It is very hard in this day and age to throw so much nice clean foam into the dumpster every week.

We discovered that they make very nice soft beds for pets when covered with two pillowcases,one on each end so they can't get at the foam.The pillowcases are much easier to launder than thick towels which take alot of time and energy to dry.

We hope we can offer these beds to places where animals need to be comforted� so that the foam and pillowcases can be used again instead of going to the landfill. They are currently being used by Homewardtrails,a non-profit which saves and places homeless animals. Please visit their website� www.homewardtrails.org to see where your pillowcases are being used.

If you have old pillowcases to contribute you can put them in the box at the shop.If you would like some foam to make your own pet bed we will be happy to give you some in exchange for two pillowcases!

It is always good to recycle, and fortunate for the animals to receive a comfortable bed. Thanks for your efforts, dairy godmother!
