|  |     Hi Di....
    
    The Pat Brody shelter has a barrell at the Victory Market in
    the Twin City Mall in Fitchburg.   We have tried to do this
    in other Victory Markets and other local supermarkets...but
    have had no luck.    We do appreciate what this particular
    Victory Market does for us...

| 378.2 | this is dedicated..to the one I love... | PROXY::HUTCHESON |  | Wed Sep 09 1992 10:51 | 10 | 
|  |     The Shaws in Stratham, N.H. (I live in Exeter) has a box for the SPCA
    (It looks like a doghouse). I try to put something in it everytime I
    go there. Sometimes there will be a note requesting paper towels, dish
    detergent and other non-food/litter items. Over the years various SPCAs
    have helped me out with strays I couldn't ignore so I am glad for the
    chance to return the favor.

| 378.3 | How about Purity? | ERLANG::FALLON | Karen Fallon "Moonsta Cattery" | Wed Sep 09 1992 10:58 | 4 | 
|  |     The Purity Supreme in Chelmsford used to have a bin for the shelter(not
    sure which one).  But since  they have redecorated I don't know
    anymore.  I always used to give them some of "Stinky's food".

|  |     A lot of grocery stores in southern NH have bins out front for various
    organizations.  Some are for "soup kitchen" types of places, others are
    animal oriented.  All depends on when and where you shop.  
    Personally, I prefer to drop off items directly to the group in need. 
    I like to see exactly where my donations are going.  My only problem is
    I can't visit Humane Societies without fear of having a kitten (or two)
    follow me home. :^)

    I think this is an excellent idea and wish that there were more stores
    that did do this.  The Lancaster Humane shelter also has one at 
    Donelan's supermarket in Littleton, I always make it a point to either
    do my entire grocery shopping there or just a couple of things, just so
    that I can put food in the bucket.
    I usually split the food, cans or dry boxes and put half in the bucket and
     the other half I keep for my local shelter that I personally deliver.
    
    I used to shop at a store that was more convient on my way home from
    work but they don't have a bucket (maybe I should make the suggestion.

| 378.6 | Correcting the name... | USPMLO::GPELLETIER |  | Mon Sep 14 1992 12:12 | 10 | 
|  | 	Just want to set the record straight on the name...
	It's Volunteer Humane Society/Nashoba Valley Humane Society -
	they use both names.  I believe they started using the second
	name when they moved their base of operations from the Acton-
	Boxborough vicinity to Lancaster.
	Incidentally they're next door to the Lancaster Animal HOSPITAL.

      Sorry about that, I do know the correct name as I donate money to
    them, I guess I was just being lazy, not good for advertisement on my
    part....

    Did you guys want me to change the name of this topic again?  I'll
    be happy to do it but I think the complete name listed in 378.6 may
    be longer than the space allowed.  If you can suggest something
    short, I'll use that.
