SWCM FIRST EVER PHOTO CONTEST | LET’S RAISE THE WOOF
Welcome to our first ever pet photo contest hosted by SWCM. This contest will allow us to raise awareness about the needs of our homebound seniors, and furthermore help us raise donations to sustain our pet program! Many of our homebound seniors were found to be feeding their last home-delivered meals to their pets, and in turn were left with nothing for themselves. We have come to understand that pets are not just animals, but a sense of comfort, family, and purpose for these clients. Our clients have lived their whole lives with their furbabies, and we want to help make sure they are taken care of as much as we can
Your contribution will allow us to provide pet food, pet supplies, litter, treats, and even cover the cost of necessary vet services. Enter your pet, make a vote, and tell your friends. EVERY DOLLAR COUNTS!
As a thank you, we are granting the winner with...
