Animals Need Help of Bear Lake (ANH)

ANH Bear Lake is an all volunteer, no-kill rescue organization located in Montpelier Idaho whose mission is to rescue and rehome abused, neglected and homeless pets. Volunteers work hard to ensure these animals are socialized and healthy before placing them in a forever home. (8+ years ago we got our beautiful Sam from them).

The ANH motto is “We are their hope, you are their future” and they are guided by the principle: SAVING ONE PET WON'T CHANGE THE WORLD BUT SURELY THE WORLD WILL CHANGE FOR THAT ONE PET.

To raise funds for their community spay-neuter program they will be selling shirts, hats, jackets and other items with their logo plus some items handmade by local crafters who truly believe in and support their mission.


Garden City Humanitarian Quilters

Marie Weston started the Humanitarian Quilting group at the Garden City LDS Church in 1993 and was its organizer for 14 years. When Garden City purchased the property on 300 West and built the City Office Complex, they included a closet specifically for quilting supplies and Humanitarian Quilters have been housed there ever since. They get-together every Tuesday afternoon in the Mountain View room above the library to quilt and socialize and laugh and truly enjoy what they do to give back.

Over the years they have made and donated approximately 12,000 to 13,000 quilts, the majority of which are sent to the Humanitarian Center in SLC who provide the fabric. They have also donated several quilts for families in need, the Road Home in SLC, the Women's Shelter in Logan, to hospitals and some to a couple of schools that had students in need.

To raise funds for batting they will be selling some of the quilts made with fabric donated from their own and other's quilting supplies.

So please stop by the Bear Lake Valley Craft Fair in the Lake View Bldg on 300 West during Raspberry Days and support 2 of our most active and beloved non-profit organizations.
