from Sue Grady of Connecting Point Computer Center.March 2025 Jean Day Donation Recipient Pet Project, Inc.As the early days of spring approach, the spirit of generosity continues to bloom across the Illinois Valley. In March, Connecting Point Computer Center (CPCC) is proud to support the local community once again through its monthly Jean Day Donation Drive, this time benefiting Pet Project, Inc. This heartwarming initiative allows CPCC employees to contribute to a cause that is close to many hearts: helping to ensure the well-being of pets in need.

The organization works tirelessly to care for these animals and find them loving, forever homes.

Connecting Point's Jean Day Tradition

At Connecting Point Computer Center, supporting local causes is a cornerstone of our values. Every month, CPCC hosts the beloved Jean Day event, which allows employees to donate a small monetary amount in exchange for the privilege of wearing jeans to work. It’s a fun and easy way to get involved in making a difference, and the funds raised go toward supporting a wide range of community initiatives.

This March, employees who participate in the Jean Day event will be helping Pet Project, Inc. care for and rehome animals in need. The contributions made by CPCC staff will go directly to support the organization’s mission, helping to fund medical treatments, food, and supplies for rescued pets.

How You Can Help

While CPCC employees can participate in the Jean Day event, anyone can make a difference for Pet Project, Inc.. Here's how you can help:

• Donate Online: Visit Pet Project, Inc.'s website and donate directly to support their rescue efforts.
• Adopt or Foster a Pet: If you're looking to add a furry friend to your family, consider adopting a pet from Pet Project. If adoption isn’t an option, fostering is a great way to provide temporary care for animals in need.
• Volunteer: Pet Project relies on volunteers to assist with events, animal care, and outreach. Your time and effort can make a huge difference!
• Spread the Word: Share the message about Pet Project’s work, encouraging friends and family to contribute in any way they can.

Why This Effort Matters

As the weather warms up, more animals are brought into local shelters, many of which are overburdened and unable to provide the care needed for every animal. By supporting Pet Project, Inc., we can help alleviate some of this pressure and ensure that animals get the care, attention, and loving homes they deserve.

Every donation—whether monetary or in-kind—directly helps these animals. Whether you're contributing funds for veterinary care, helping to stock supplies, or offering your time as a volunteer, your support plays an essential role in ensuring that every pet has the opportunity to live a better life.
