UPAWS for the Holidays!

For Christmas, the Superior Seekers and Challenge Seekers would like to collect items for the Upper Peninsula Animal Welfare Shelter (UPAWS).   Many of the items are things you might have at home already or can be very inexpensive.

Items will be collected at the December 2nd meeting and will be delivered to UPAWS on SATURDAY December 7th around noon.  If you are interested in dropping the supplies off with other 4H members, we can meet at the Cenex gas station in Marquette and drive there as a group with our supplies. 



Here is a list of items currently needed at UPAWS—anything you can bring would be great!
