Some people throw out their pennies, others lose them. Lamar University College Panhellenic Council (CPC) will find a better use for their coins. On Thursday, July 9, 2009, members of CPC will be accepting pennies to benefit The Southeast Texas Humane Society from 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm outside the quadrangle entrance to the Setzer Student Center. Members of the council will also collect much needed shelter items such as premium puppy and dog food, canned puppy food, dog shampoo, frontline flea control, premium kitten food, kitty litter, collars and leashes, towels, sheets, windex, bleach, postage stamps, copy paper, scotch tape, and solid air fresheners.
“For our special summer service project, we really wanted to find some way to help the Humane Society, and we thought everyone has pennies,” said Laura Whitmire, president of the Lamar University College Panhellenic Council. “This is an easy way for people to make a difference and support this worthwhile cause, helping to save the lives of homeless animals in our area.”
The Humane Society of Southeast Texas is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization dedicated to the humane treatment of all animals and to humane service and education in the community. Its mission is to ensure than animals in their care are given the best temporary home possible until they find them a forever home. The shelter is currently running at capacity and it is through the kindness of volunteers and donations from people in Southeast Texas that keeps the shelter operating.
