Review for Operation Blankets of Love (OBOL), Granada Hills, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

As a volunteer at a local nursing home I was offered hundreds of used blankets & towels, some with frayed edges & a few holes to donate to OBOL. No longer used for the residents these items were welcomed for the animals in need. The nursing home was glad to be able recycle them to such a good cause.Thank you OBOL.
