Mon Valley Paws Holds Donation Drive in Monessen By Jill Runfola His Place Coffee Shop (and more) in Monessen was happy to host a donation drive for Mon Valley Paws (MVP) for the second consecutive year on Saturday, April 6. MVP volunteers at the Meet & Greet were busy collecting donations for their four local partnered rescue shelters, while His Place donating customers received 10% off their purchase. Randy Marino, Founder and President of MVP, says that they’re appreciative to His Place for giving them this opportunity, a positive one in spreading the word. His Place, collected $135 in cash donations for MVP and 157 pounds of food, blankets, toys, and other items. Also, three people became volunteers with MVP, and 5 signed up to receive the newsletter. Mon Valley Paws are to be commended for all their work and “paws up” to all the donors. A nonprofit organization, Mon-Valley Paws has been around now as a program for animals and their owners in the area for 6 years. If you can help in any way, call them at 724-493-8305. For additional information, like them on Facebook.
