Bloomfield, Missouri - Goldie DeGroot, owner of Granny Pickers in Bloomfield, Missouri has a soft heart. She knows there is a need in Bloomfield to help the local Animal Shelter.
Bonnie Blue is the face of the Bloomfield Animal Shelter. She helps as many dogs as possible to find their owner or give them new homes, but it does come at a cost. She helps as much as she can, but it's a community endeavor and Goldie knows feeding many dogs can get expensive.
From now until May 21, 2017 Granny Pickers is a drop off point for much needed items such as dog food, puppy food, paper towels, bleach, cloth towels, blankets, dog toys, dog leashes, and of course cash. All proceeds will be given to help the Bloomfield Animal Shelter.
No donation is too small. Please give to your local shelter and save a dog's life!
Mrs. DeGroot is also the Bloomfield Chamber of Commerce president and is making great strides at improving the awareness of the Chamber in Bloomfield and the surrounding area.
Granny Pickers, LLC Flea Market is located at 801 N. State Highway 25, Bloomfield. Call Goldie at (573) 568 - 9996.
