It is Monday morning and we thought you might like some amazing news.
We were filling out a grant application last week and had to collate all of our data relating to how many people, pets and families we serve.
Ladies and gentlemen, the results astounded even us!
It's incredible how you don't even notice what you're doing while you doing it, but then you look back and think "Holy Moly, that's pretty significant!"
Nobody dislikes 'humble braggers' more than us, but in this case, we see these results as what we have achieved TOGETHER as our Frankie and Andy's Place family of volunteers, donors, sponsors, staff, collaborating organizations and supporters .
So, first grab a coffee, give yourselves a huge pat on the back, and then read and rejoice at what we all accomplished together.
When good people work together, miracles happen.
In our sanctuary, we served 56 permanent resident hospice dogs. This combines intake and dogs that have passed.
Through our 'Helping Hands / Healing Paws' Pet Food Pantry Outreach we served;
716 families.
1981 family pets.
14 other rescues, shelters or 501c3's in need of bulk food, equipment or supplement supplies.
6 independent foster families.
4 cat colonies serving a combined total of 214 feral cats.
Through our Senior Solutions Advice service we provided free of charge consultations for 377 pet owners and 6 pet rescues. This service exists to prevent owners from surrendering their dogs to county shelters and helps to keep them in the family.
Our adult community visit program served 30 clients per week.
Our Schools Outreach Program served over 500 children.
The total for these combined numbers is 3634.
What do you say we take this number and double it for 2024/ 2025?
