IN THE SPOTLIGHT: Hartz Shelter Donation Program

Free Is A Very Good Price

Many charities are facing difficult times as they experience a significant decrease in the donations upon which they depend as people cut back their donations or eliminate them all together.
But there is a way to help, even for those who are unable to make financial donations, and it’s free.
 Hartz has “launched the Hartz Shelter Donation Program this year and pledged to distribute $3,000,000 worth of pet supplies to help shelters feed and care for abandoned animals and help food banks cater to at-risk families struggling to keep their pets at home.”
Help Hartz brighten the holidays for homeless pets by nominating your local shelter and/or food bank to receive a shipment of 2,000 pieces, or more, of Hartz pet supply products.
According to the Hartz Web site: “You can help, by contacting shelters and food banks where you live and telling them about the Hartz Shelter Donation Program. Once you have successfully connected with your local shelter/s and confirmed their desire to receive a donation, before Jan. 31, 2010, email HartzShelterHeroes@Hartz.com, with your name, address & telephone number and that of the shelter/s, as well as the name of a contact at the shelter. Hartz will contact you both about next steps for the donation.”
The Web site also says, "On the Shelter Donation Tracker you can see that Hartz has already shipped 451,063 products, valued at $1,442,835. That’s almost half the total pledged amount. From now through the holidays, donations will be sent out on a first come, first served basis, until the remaining $1,500,000 of supplies are shipped. So hurry and contact your local shelter – make sure your shelter is one of the first requests hartz receives!"
So now, regardless of how hard the economic situation has impacted you, you can help your favorite charity and you can make a difference - for less than A Dime A Day. Don't delay, the money could run out fast.
