Not even COVID could stop the Girls on the Run.
The organization, formed to promote a sense of empowerment and self-esteem in girls in grades three through five, raised an estimated $600 worth of food and other items for the dogs and cats in the Town and Country Humane Society shelter south of Orland.
The shelter is located on Highway 99 between between County Roads 21 and 23, south of Orland. It is a nonprofit run by volunteers committed to the idea of making life better for our furry friends.
Girls on the Run is a national organization founded about 25 years ago. It has a strong presence in the North State, including Glenn County.
On Saturday, the girls took part in a 5K run in Chico. The items collected for the shelter were part of the eight-week program’s endeavor to help the community.
