Thrivent member, Sarah Barcus, was approved for a Thrivent Action Team, “Make a Dog’s Day.” During the month of October, staff and residents of Kingston Residence of Marion (Ohio) gathered, made, and purchased items to be donated to the Marion Dog Pound for the care of the animals.
Ingredients were purchased and residents of the Memory Care Unit made 2 dozen homemade dog treats. Employees, and family members of residents brought in older blankets that could be used for the dogs at the shelter. Almost every employee donated something to this project. Also, Thrivent assistance allowed for the further purchase of dog treats, toys, and food. The original goal was to fill 3 boxes of items, but when finished Kingston donated 8 boxes of blankets, treats, and toys!
Thank you for allowing Thrivent to be a part of this successful project that coupled enrichment of those at Kingston Residence of Marion and aiding in the care and comfort of shelter dogs.
