It’s that time of year again and we are collecting stories of how Rikki’s Refuge has helped you, your pets and the community so we can write the narrative of our Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) application. The donations we get from CFC contributions are a great help to Rikki’s. Do you have a photo or story that we might incorporate?
We don’t need long stories ~ just a paragraph or two. You don’t have to live in Virginia to have a story..have we been helpful to you with resources, time, etc., have you adopted a Rikki’s alumni?, have you volunteered, have you come on a tour ~ all of your stories are important and we would really appreciate hearing them! Please email Lolly at lollyb65@gmail.com and THANKS!
