Many local businesses and organizations could use the support of the community during uncertain times brought about by the spread of COVID-19. Efforts to reduce the spread of coronavirus have had major impacts on many local businesses and organizations, but residents of the community who are eager to provide support still have options.
The spread of COVID-19 is affecting more than just humans. Pennsylvania’s state of emergency has forced animal shelters to operate with limited resources, staff and volunteers. However there are still plenty of animals in need of care, foster, or adoption. As shelters adjust the ways they are operating, there are a variety of ways for animal lovers to offer assistance.
As part of their community outreach efforts, the Center for Animal Health and Welfare has created a novel way for animal lovers to read and spend time with some of their furry guests.
A Hellertown business owner plans to help local residents dispose of Christmas trees, feed hungry goats and collect donations for a local animal shelter, all at the same time.
An upcoming event in Hellertown will benefit the largest animal shelter in Northampton County. ‘Dressed to the K-9’s,’ a fundraiser for the Center for Animal Health & Welfare, will be held at Steel Club Nov. 30.
Handsome Retro is three years and seven months old. He is a male who’s called the Center home since October 2013, when he arrived as a three-month-old kitten.
A Hellertown resident is working hard to help brighten the holidays for area residents–and even pets–in need. Amy Campbell-Musser is collecting donations for both the Center for Animal Health and Welfare–a no-kill animal shelter in Williams Township–and Safe Harbor Homeless Shelter in Easton. She will deliver the donations to both organizations before Christmas, as she has done in years past. Campbell-Musser said the Center for Animal Health and Welfare needs clean
blankets, towels, sheets, pillowcases, wash cloths, dog and cat beds, pillows, bleach, all-purpose cleaner, laundry detergent, dish soap, paper towels, dry food for dogs and cats (Purina One is the preferred cat food but the center will certainly accept other types), wet cat food, cat litter (which is often in short supply), cat treats, toys and monetary donations. The Center for Animal Health and Welfare also has a wish list posted on Amazon Prime.
