Animal Welfare Department Seeking Pet Food Donations

Image

The Animal Welfare Department is seeking pet food donations, particularly peanut butter. Can you help? You can drop off donations at either the Eastside or Westside shelters, or you can order from Amazon and have food and goodies shipped directly. Visit: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/5S9A193E58F0?ref_=wl_share&fbclid=IwY2xjawGDaitleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHQQiSxLKkEqmN-9z-j7CIc2NS6yWWhAuEI3rr_tcqWYoC9_DtKHhaSlwKQ_aem_zFODPbRuM53T3MXT2mYCPA.
When donating peanut butter, please only donate the regular kind, not the kind that needs stirring, and please make sure the peanut butter does NOT contain xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.

Fixit Clinic Coming Up October 25th

Keep Albuquerque Beautiful, in partnership with Fuse Makerspace, is excited to host this year’s fall Fix It Clinic on Friday, October 25 from 8:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. This free, all-ages event provides a unique opportunity for participants to bring their broken household items such as bikes, small appliances, electronics, and sewing projects, and learn how to repair them with the guidance of experienced coaches. Instead of sending these items to the landfill, attendees will learn valuable skills in assessing, disassembling, and fixing their belongings. 

The Fix It Clinic is more than just a repair event; it’s an educational experience that fosters sustainability and creativity. Last year, we had 31 coaches assist 69 participants in diagnosing and repairing their items, with attendees expressing high satisfaction from the hands-on, expert assistance they received. Participants can register at: https://www.oneabqvolunteers.com/need/detail/?need_id=981627.
