Buy a hat; help an animal
The Plumas Animal Welfare Society and Animals In Need are holding a “Save A Life Hats” campaign to raise funds for the two organizations.
The perfect headwear for the coming chill of winter, “Every stitch is made with LOVE,” in hopes of saving an innocent shelter animal looking for a warm and loving home, said Animals in Need volunteer Barbara Montandon.
The hats can be bought inside Chester Plumas Bank during normal business hours. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the sale of the knitted beanies, scarves and ‘messy bun’ hats go directly to PAWS in Quincy and local Animals In Need. Buy two or more hats and take $5 off your purchase.
This is the third year of the program, said Montandon. Sacramento resident Dorthy Eakle makes and donates all the hats in support of the program. Hats make a great Christmas or birthday gift Montandon added.
