7th Annual Tree of Lights
The Critter Adoption and Rescue Effort (CARE) no-kill shelter for homeless
dogs and cats is holding its 7th Annual Tree of Lights for the Animals
fundraiser from now throughout the holidays. For a tax deductible
contribution of $5 or more, we will place a bulb on our tree for each pet
you want to honor. For a $10 or more donation, a cat or dog ornament with
the name of your pet(s) will be placed on the tree. At any time during the
holiday season, visitors are encouraged to come view our trees and,
hopefully, visit some of the homeless pets available for adoption. You may
pick up a donation form at the shelter, 1528 27th Street SE, visit our
website CARE or call 645-2273 for more information and/or directions to the
shelter. PLEASE HELP us continue to support the homeless animals in our
south shore area with a donation during the holiday season.
