Loryn, our community outreach coordinator, is passionate about the animals and used to work with WCHS before coming to Vermont Woods Studios. She loves getting out into the community and helping out a good cause; both at work and during her free time.Supporting good community causes is a big part of our mission, and it's something that each of us at Vermont Woods Studios is passionate about personally. So it makes sense that we didn't hesitate to get over to the Windham County Humane Society, even during a snowstorm. If there's one thing that separates Vermonters from the rest, it's our ability to completely go on with our day normally in weather conditions that the rest of the country panics about. That, and our dedication to helping out our neighbors, of course!
(For the record, none of us actually knew it would be snowing this much when we ventured out. Safety first!)Yesterday, Loryn & I visited the humane society to drop off our donations to their Wags to Riches auction and fundraiser--and to pick up our tickets for the event! I even got a new dog tag, for my darling Chihuahua, Pappy!
The WCHS team was super appreciative of our donation, and emphasized how much community support matters to them. Without the kind support of businesses and community members, WCHS wouldn't be able to work as hard and help as many animals as they do. The Windham County Humane Society "is a non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring the safety and well-being of animals and enhancing the relationship between individuals and pets through adoption, education, advocacy, compassion and promotion of animal welfare." They help "stray, abandoned, neglected and surrendered pets by giving them a second chance at a healthy, happy life."
We're happy to support them, and are even more excited to attend the amazing Wags to Riches auction on March 1st. Loryn will be writing a blog about it when the date gets closer, so stay tuned!
