Thanks to the United Way Day of Caring on Wednesday, September 23rd, volunteers from organizations all over town came to help out the animals at the SPCA. It was amazing - we had 10 groups here doing 13 projects and over 100 people. They accomplished so much with such amazing attitudes! They donated time and energy and in some cases money for the materials for their projects. A big, heartfelt thank you to each of the following organizations and their wonderful employees:
The UVA Recreation Department improved our trails 1,000%.
The State Farm Fur Brigade did some major inside cleanup and decorated our cat areas.
Blue Ridge ESOP Associates painted some very tired looking walls.
The UVA Health System Development Office built us some gorgeous garbage cans and signs and cleaned and organized our dog harnesses and collars.
The UVA Heath System Transplant Center created and installed poop bag dispensers.
The Virginia Transportation Research Council spared some people for the day to make videos of the day and help us create instructional videos on dog walking.
The Darden School folks spruced up the SPCA Rummage Store.
Union Bank and Trust gave our cats some much needed attention.
State Farms Paws for Cause walked some very happy dogs and did some landscaping.
Sperry Marine brought their engineering skills and strong backs to fixing and organizing our animal crates and landscaping around the area.
And stay tuned for the video! Seriously....

I agree--all of the volunteers were wonderful and so full of energy. I hope they realize how much these projects mean to the shelter staff and regular volunteers.
