Change Agents Dog Toy Drive

What was the purpose behind our Dog Toy Drive?

After the COVID pandemic, many families could not afford to feed their pets, especially dogs, so most of these dogs either became strays or were given away to shelters. To have hope for the holidays, change agents raised over $1k, and dog toys, and donated it to local dog shelters. This was to spread positivity during dark times in our community. 

During this drive, Change Agents had donated to NYC Animal Care Centers, and raised over $1000 according to our Just Giving

What is the Animal Care Center of NYC? 

The Animal Care Center of NYC is an organization that thrives to make sure that no animal in NYC is homeless. the Animal Care Center of NYC has paired with over 200 other organizations to make sure that these animals have homes and loved ones. They've also adopted animals to the public! Change agents had partnered with them to make sure that all of these animals get what they deserve in these dark times. It was change agents priority to make sure that even if these pets were in shelters, they would still have some type of joy following them.
