CVDART Donates $1500
Educating the community about the importance of making sure people and pets are prepared for a disaster, CVDART hosted a table at the 2022 Do Good Festival in Montpelier Vermont. Using the donated State Farm Go Bags, 3 teams of 2 CVDART volunteers distributed these bags and talked with attendees about why preparation was so important throughout the day.
Directly across from CVDART was an amazing organization, the Gay & Lesbian Fund of Vermont who was sponsoring a contest with a $2500 prize. To increase exposure of their organization, this donation would be made to the organization at the Do Good Festival that sent the most people to their table and who voted for that organization. After Deb Shelby talked with them about this contest and the goals of their organization she worked with her teammates to encourage people who stopped at the CVDART table to vote for CVDART in this contest. CVDART was the winner of the contest and the $2500 prize.
The CVDART Board voted to donate $1500 of this prize to DART Command Central.
“The Central Vermont Disaster Animal Response Team is very invested in supporting the efforts of DART Command Central. Recently, CVDART made a donation of $1500 to support the production of the Emergency Pet Shelter Module. This module provides an efficient registration process during emergencies, which causes less stress for both pets and humans.”
