Community Service Project

Community Service Committee Collections to benefit PAWS and The Anti-Cruelty Society.

The Community Service Committee will be collecting monetary donations to benefit PAWS and items to benefit The Anti-Cruelty Society at the February 25 business meeting.

At this time, The Anti-Cruelty Society is particularly looking for any kind of unopened cat or dog food and chew toys for dogs, especially bully sticks, Kong rubber toys, and rawhide chews. In addition to food or chew toys, The Anti-Cruelty Society is interested in “Do It Yourself Donations” you can make from home. Please review The Anti-Cruelty Society’s suggestions and instructions and consider a homemade donation.

We are also looking for cash donations for PAWS Chicago’s Veterinarian Wish List. Your donation will go towards the purchase of lifesaving medical equipment like warming pads, antibiotics, syringe and IV pumps, and dental x-rays. These tools allow PAWS Chicago’s veterinarian team to continue to treat and heal animals in need.

Please help CALL help homeless animals by contributing on February 25!

Cost: $25.00
