Here are the Results from our October Fundraising!

The Get in Touch Foundation


Thanks to everyone who allowed us to place yard signs in their yards this past October we were able to raise $1,500 for the Get in Touch Foundation. Placing 75 signs over the month of October allowed us to contribute to education of women of all ages on the early signs of breast cancer. Thank you all for your support!

Friends of the New Haven Animal Shelter


We were able to donate 120 pounds of dog food thanks to everyone who shared our Facebook page. The Friends of the New Haven Animal Shelter supports dogs and cats who are currently living in the shelter by providing toys, food, and treats. Thank you to all of those who shared our page!
