The Pet Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) in Norwalk began a Donation Drive for food and supplies on November 15, and the drive runs until the end of this year. This no-kill non-profit shelter cares for more than 100 cats and 25 dogs on an ongoing basis and food and basic shelter supplies are among the largest expenses in their operating budget. Donations of food/supplies enable PAWS to stretch the budget to care for seriously ill or injured animals and spay/neuter incoming pets.

To participate, please go to: YouGiveGoods.com/drive.php?id=2260 and Click the “Donate to this Drive” button. Select the food or supplies to contribute along with the quantities of each, click “Add to Cart,” and then “Ready to Checkout.” On December 31st when the drive concludes, the food and supplies donated will be delivered to PAWS on your behalf and you’ll receive a tax receipt via email. No heavy lifting, fighting crowds, or wrapping gifts.
