I am Sister Anastasia Vandoros and I have the calling in the ward to work on the Emergency and Disaster committee, specifically to help members to prepare, care for, and maintain pets as part of their family in the event of an emergency/disaster that might occur in the area. I have literature for display and to hand out for that purpose.
Animals unlimted Inc is a non profit, charitable humane organization headed by Anastasia. In that capacity I have received an okay from Bishop Grasteit to request donations of animal supplies to AU Inc so the group (along with other animal groups who would rally around) could assist the Ward in any kind of emergency disaster which might hit our area. We had experience in the Katrina disaster which gave us the know-how to help animals in an earthquake and/or fire.
We need the following items: Dog & cat houses, cages of all sizes, carrying cases, leashes collars, harnesses, kitty litter and boxes, washed clean blankets, feeding bowls & dishes, etc., medical supplies new and unopened, only canned food at this time due to storage problems.
If you wish cash donations are being accepted so we can buy the above items. Tax deductable receipts will be issued for all donations. Donations can be dropped off before or after church at Anastasia's Big Blue Chevy can at the back parking lot on the 22nd and 29th of June. If you have any questions please contact Anastasia Vandoros at (818) 340-3327.
We do not have to choose between please & animals. Together we can plan for both. Remember Noah took only eight people on the ark all the rest were animals.
Now is the time to part with those pet supplies you have no use for any more but have been hanging onto for sentimental reasons. The living animals will have a great need for them.
Thank you,
Anastasia Vandoros
