Tom Werowinski Food Drive for Homeless Animals
January 31
Please join us for our third annual "Tom Werowinski Food Drive for Homeless Animals" to benefit the animals at the adoption center, the shelter, and foster care.  Tom adopted a dog through CARAC in the fall of 2006 and passed away soon after but not before reminding us of the special relationship we share with our pets.  At our drive in 2007, we collected over $5,000 worth of food, toys, and supplies for canines, felines, rabbits, and reptiles and in 2008, we nearly doubled that effort!
Please drop your donation between 10am & 3pm at any of the following locations on January 31st, 2009:
Companion Animal Resource and Adoption Center - upper level, Southridge Mall
Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission - 3839 West Burnham Street
