Jessica Stevens of Troop 60303 collected blankets to earn her Bronze Award while other troop members made fleece dog toys.  Jessica said "I really loved doing this project to help homeless animals.  People were willing to help when they heard what their old, extra blankets and towels could be used for."

It's so easy to become a friend of OBOL! Just host a Blanket Drive.

Homeless cats, dogs, puppies, and kittens desperately need recycled and new blankets, comforters, dog and cat beds, towels, toys, treats, and other pet-related items.  These items are used ALL YEAR ROUND.

Show your compassion and concern for the homeless animals that have no voice.

You can host a blanket drive at work, school or your club or organization.  Animal lovers are everywhere!  Take the first step today and call to arrange a blanket drive.

You will be an inspiration for others to do the same.
