Medfield BSA Troop 89 donates Christmas tree pick-up funds to Medfield Animal Shelter
Recently, Troop 89 Sr Patrol Leader Kenny Manning met with a representative of the Medfield Animal Shelter to deliver a donation from the funds raised during the troop's 26th annual Christmas Tree Pick-up fundraiser. "We are proud of our tradition of helping others and supporting our community," said Jim Hatch, Troop 89 Scoutmaster. "Through these opportunities, our scouts learn the importance of supporting all living beings.”
The Medfield Animal Shelter has been caring for cats, dogs, guinea pigs, bunnies, birds, hamsters, gerbils, and other critters in it's current location for 18 years. In 2021, they found homes for 550 pets. As a no-kill shelter, they are committed to caring for all animals. They also offer care services at a low cost to the community to help end the overpopulation of pets. Find out more about the animal shelter here: https://www.medfieldshelter.com
With the support of the Town of Medfield and its residents, Troop 89 is able to continue its tradition of donating a portion of the funds raised to local nonprofits. This year The Medfield Food Pantry, The Medfield Animal Shelter, and The Trustees of the Reservation were selected to receive donations.
