How to Host Your Own Straw Giveaway
Buy bales of straw from your local "feed and seed" store. They will often give discounts on bulk orders. Take along the "cold-weather tips" listed above and post them.
Borrow or rent a large truck. (We rent a 14-footer.)
Approach a local supermarket or discount department store and ask for permission to set aside a section of its parking lot for your straw giveaway.
Send a media advisory to newspapers, radio and TV stations alerting them to the time, place, and date of the giveaway.
Bring along a tarpaulin to cover any leftover straw and leave it with a sign reading: "Free straw. Great bedding for dogs!"
You can improve the lives of dogs and cats suffering from cruelty and neglect.
Forward this to friends.
