The Cohase Rotary eClub recently sponsored a pet food drive to assist pet owners facing economic challenges and to help support organizations committed to animal welfare. The event was held on Saturday, January 9, 2021 from 10 AM to 1 PM at Hannaford Supermarket in Bradford, Vermont. The response from the community was overwhelming with over 1000 pounds of pet food and supplies donated by over 200 families and individuals.
Many community members also made cash contributions which were used to purchase additional food and supplies. Not only did people donate supplies for cats and dogs, but the club also received food and supplies for fish, hamsters, birds and other pets. The donations were distributed to area veterinary clinic pet food shelves, animal welfare organizations, food banks, senior centers and other organizations who work to address the needs of the economically disadvantaged.
The Cohase Rotary eClub works to provide service to others, promote integrity, and advance world understanding and goodwill. The club seeks to sponsor one project each month to benefit our regional community with a focus on the Vermont and New Hampshire communities that make up the Cohase region.
