1st Annual Dane Drive
( Great Danes giving back to their community )
The Great Dane Club of Greater Omaha collected donations from April 1st to July 5th, 2009 for the Assistance League of Omaha. We asked for your show suits that are too small or too big, house hold items and books. Thanks to all of your generosity, we donated over 80 suits and 5 boxes of household items and books. All of these items were then dropped off at the Assistance League of Omaha. They are a nonprofit organization right here in our community that will sell our items to fund programs like these:
Operation Bear Hug: Assistance League provides 650 bears to children who have been in crisis. The bears are distributed through the Omaha Police Department and area agencies.
Operation Recovery: Residents of Santa Monica, a home for woman recovering from drug and/or alcohol dependency, receive vouchers for clothing from Yesterday's Best, the Assistance League's Thrift Shop.
Assault Survivor Kits: Kits containing a complete change of clothing and hygiene products are provided to hospital emergency rooms and shelters for victims of rape and other forms of violence. More then 500 kits were delivered last year in our community.
