Thanks to all of your voting, SNAP is a winner in the Tom's of Maine 50 States for Good initiative! The money won will go toward Mobile Clinic visits to Houston's Corridor of Cruelty! See the following press release for all the details and the other winners! Way to go SNAP!
KENNEBUNK, Maine – November, 23, 2009 – After weeks of public voting and campaigning among 50 of America’s most inspiring and creative non-profits, Tom’s of Maine announces the five winners of its “50 States for Good” initiative. The program, which rewards non-profits that make a lasting difference in their local community, drew more than 280,000 online votes from across the country. The votes ultimately determined the five non-profit organizations to receive $20,000 each to fund important projects ranging from animal rescue and handicap access to community gardens.
The five winning non-profit organizations are:
The Corridor of Cruelty & Neglect, Houston Mobile Clinic, Houston, TX – Funding will be used to help an area of Houston dubbed the "Corridor of Cruelty & Neglect", where animals are often abandoned, injured or ill. A mobile clinic will work with animal rescue to get animals to the clinic for health care, sterilization and ultimately to help find homes for them.
“Winning this contest allows us to help an area of Houston named The Corridor of Cruelty and Neglect in dire need of a way to stop the cycle of animal homelessness and abuse,” said Hazel Green, grants manager, Spay-Neuter Assistance Program, Inc. “It allows us to call public attention to the horror that results from human cruelty, carelessness, and lack of knowledge about what can and should be done to relieve and prevent animal suffering. Winning is also confirmation of our long-held belief that people who love animals are among the most dedicated and passionate people on the planet.”
