Cats Care would like to thank the Elk's organization in Galena, and a private donor for providing students in need with winter gear. Together they donated almost $4000 worth of supplies. The members of Cats Care donated numerous hours of their time to our students as well to distribute these items outside of regular school hours. Below are examples of what some students received.
