If you don’t think you are old enough for the center, but want to support them in some way, come and check out all the great things they have in their 2 gift shops. The gift shops are open the hours the center is open. Or consider donating something they could use to make items for the gift shops. They currently could use fabric to make walker bags and quilt batting and stuffing for pet blankets, pillows and quilts.
