January: Laundry Detergent
Help us collect a 6-month supply of laundry detergent.

That means over 300 blankets are washed daily at Save the Chimps! Help us with the important task of keeping the chimps’ blankets clean and dry by donating laundry detergent.
Order through our Amazon Wishlist and items will ship directly to us.
