Councilwoman Trish Bergin Weichbrodt welcomed Kate Natalie (8) and Gabriella Crimi (9) of Commack Road Elementary School as they unloaded bags and boxes of donations into the garage of the Islip Animal Shelter and Adopt-a-Pet Center. The girls set up a collection bin at school and have been spearheading their fellow students to get more involved and educated about animal
shelters and pet adoption. The two girls collected a wide range of much needed pet supplies, from food and snacks to beds, blankets and towels. The students also donated toys and a $50 check to go to the care and comfort of the animals at the shelter. “Theses girls have gone above and beyond to support and promote the animals at our shelter, collecting so much in only a two-week period.
We congratulate them for an outstanding job and for inspiring others to make a difference” said Councilwoman Trish Bergin Weichbrodt. Those interested in donating to the animals of Islip Animal Shelter and Adopt-a-Pet Center may visit their Amazon Wish List, or drop donations off at the shelter, located at 210 South Denver Avenue in Bay Shore.
