Dear Volunteers,
Concern for Animals would like to thank our donors, volunteers, supporters, sponsors and friends for helping us ensure that all animals and families could get the support they needed in 2012.
In 2013 we will continue our efforts to eliminate animal abuse, feed animals in need, supply funds for medical care, help keep pet overpopulation down with S/N funds and empower through education. Please watch the CFA event calendar this coming year for some great new education and pet care clinics we hope to offer. Please click on the "Just Give" link below to donate and help CFA carry on our mission in 2013.

Volunteers who have never attended a training are encouraged to attend as well as anyone interested in learning more about CFA. We welcome animal lovers over the age of 18 (if 16-18, must be accompanied by an adult).

HAPPY NEW YEAR VOLUNTEERS! Please make a New Year's resolution to help animals in 2013 that can't help themselves. Here are some ideas…
ADOPT a new family pet from a local animal shelter or rescue group. Please make sure the rescue is a true 501(c) 3 group before adopting.
SPAY OR NEUTER your pet to reduce pet overpopulation and unwanted pets.
VOLUNTEER your time at upcoming events and attend the next volunteer training on February 27 at 7:30 p.m. at the Parks & Recreation Building, 222 Columbia Street, Olympia.
DONATE to Concern for Animals. Cash, food or supply donations are an easy way to support an animal in need.
JOIN Concern for Animals and become a member.
HOST a fundraiser event that will support Concern for Animals programs or food bank.

Gratitude
Special thanks to Judy Covell who graciously offered to pick up and log food bank donations around town on a regular basis. We appreciate all that she does to help keep families together!
Bagging It
We are looking for a few volunteers to help us put treats and food into smaller plastic bags for our food bank so we are not giving out one huge box of treats or bags to one person. More to go around! And, it makes handling the larger dog food bags easier. If you can help out one afternoon or early evening next week, please email [email protected] and let us know your availability.
