In 2019, employees chose to donate their time to causes that promote and inspire compassion, care and love for animals of all kinds in our local communities. This holiday season, we’ve donated $5,760 to local organizations whose missions are to care for and support animals of all kinds. In addition to monetary donations, our employees have been actively volunteering in their communities to help those organizations with animals as their focus. In 2019, our employees donated just over 550 hours of volunteer time.

Scroll down to view the organizations our employees chose to either volunteer with or give a donation to.
