Over 20 terrific helpers collected more than 70,000 pounds worth of donations at 8 Annual Conferences throughout the Midwest in June. The work doesn’t stop when the truck doors close, though. More hard-working volunteers and MMDC staff unload those trucks, sort through the donations and get them ready to send back out again. The donations included Cleaning Bucket Supplies, Bedding Kit Supplies, Birthing Kits and supplies, and so much more. Thank you to all the great volunteers and donors!

NEW pallet jacks—one yellow and one pink—make it easier to get the job done in those 3 big sections of warehouse. Executive Director Pat Wright (on right) sure loves the pink one!

June Volunteer Coordinators Karen & Mike Vaughan, Stan & Jennie Lowrey, and Phillip & Ann Stover were all Volunteer Coordinators in June. It takes a special kind of patience to work during Annual Conference time. Thank you all!
