About GIVE LOCAL + AWS

We cannot overstate the importance the Annual Give Local Fundraiser plays in making Animal Welfare Society's cat and dog rescues possible. In particular, the funds donated to AWS during the campaign directly assist in the special medical treatment and veterinary care required for our animals due to prior neglect and homelessness. These costs are traditionally enormous. Our regular operating budget simply would not allow us to extend such care for these animals without your kind and generous support.

Give Local 2023 offers the opportunity to have your donations multiply through enhanced and matching fund gifting. All you need to do is click on the red donation button and make your donation. You can watch how your AWS Donations grow on the CCF/Give Local leaderboard.

PLEASE PUT US ON YOUR CALENDAR FOR THIS EVENT

TUESDAY, APRIL 25 FROM 7AM THROUGH 7PM ON WEDNESDAY, APRIL 26
