Monkey Love Drive Swings in Shelton, CT 

Swing into Shelton, CT and donate a stuffed monkey to the 5^th Annual Monkey Love Drive running now through Wednesday, February 9. 

The Monkey Love drive, celebrating Valentine's Day, was started in 2007 by the former owners of Luther's Garage, which has since closed.  Jennifer Czajkowski, owner of J-Cuts at 505 Howe Avenue, Shelton, has graciously taken over the monkey project. 

The stuffed monkeys are collected and given to abused, neglected, and needy children, local hospitals, foster children and the children of Connecticut National Guard soldiers deployed over the Valentine's Day weekend.

Since the beginning of the drive, over 3,600 stuffed monkeys have been collected and distributed.
