Give your furs back to the animals. The Humane Society of the United States and secondhand retail chain Buffalo Exchange are promoting the “Coats for Cubs” program, in which all donated furs (including trims) will be used as bedding to comfort orphaned and hurt wildlife. Coats for Cubs runs through April 22. Furs can be donated at a Buffalo Exchange store or mailed to the Humane Society. Buffalo Exchange has stores in Costa Mesa and Fullerton. For more information about the program, visit buffaloexchange.com,hsus.org/furdonation, or call 866.235.8255.
