its role on campus it will give them something to strive for. We will also continue to make ourselves noticed on campus

• Over the course of a month, 140 pounds of cat and dog food were donated, along with 14 pounds of cat litter and $100 in cash donations. All of the collections were donated to the Animal Lovers' League Humane Shelter in Glen Cove, NY.

• This shelter is run on donations only and provides food, shelter and pet care for 140 cats and 15 dogs. Having recently rescued 100+ cats during a hoarding seizure, staff members were very happy to accept donations.
