National Pet Month is a celebration of the benefits that pets bring to people’s lives – and vice versa. It is observed annually in the United States in May and during the month of April in the United Kingdom.
National Pet Month’s aims are to:
Here in Amelia you can celebrate National Pet Month by donating pet food, treats and toys to the Amelia County Animal Shelter through a donation box hosted by Food Lion at their Amelia store. Did you that about 80 million homes in America have an animal family member? And about half of those households have more than one? What a great way to celebrate how important our pets are!
Citizens Bank
The Amelia branch of Citizens Bank donated the proceeds from their company’s May fundraiser to Amelia Patrons for Animal Welfare, Inc. (APAW). The eleven (11) state branches hold a Denim Day once a month and each employee who wishes to wear jeans must donate $5.00 to the fundraiser. Then employees choose a deserving charity to which they donate each month’s funds. Accepting the May donation check from Branch Manager Robin Gough is APAW Vice President Cindy Case.
