8th Annual Employee Toy and Food Drive

Don’t Forget the Animals this Holiday Season

 

During the 8th Annual Oakland County Employee Food and Toy drive, don’t forget the animals!  More animals are abandoned and shelter donations decrease during tough economic times. This year boxes will be set out with the toy and food boxes, for donations to animal rescues/shelters.  We cannot accept cash donations but gift cards to pet stores and purchased pet supplies are appreciated.
