The Stroller, Dec. 12, 2020: Events in the Alle-Kiski Valley

Volunteers needed at Kiski Valley Cat & Kitten Rescue

Kiski Valley Cat & Kitten Rescue in Apollo is seeking volunteers and donations.

The organization is dedicated to the prevention of cruelty and neglect toward cats and kittens and provides shelter and necessary medical care until they can find their forever home. The shelter usually runs at full capacity.

Volunteers are needed to clean and replenish food and water bowls, clean litter boxes, shelter floors and enclosures and play with the cats and kittens and are asked to commit to at least one shift per week. Days and times are flexible. Volunteers younger than 16 must be under the supervision of a parent or guardian who is at least over 18.

To give your time, email Renee at rgazarik@hotmail.com. To donate, visit kiskicats.org.

Donate online to Salvation Army

The annual New Kensington Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign will be limited this year due to the pandemic.

With more people facing hardships, the need to serve those most vulnerable is greater than ever.

Online donations can be made at salarmy.us/NewKensingtonKettle.
