PITTSBURGH– Clearview Federal Credit Union has announced the selection of several local animal charities and shelters located near financial centers in Southwestern Pennsylvania as the benefactors of its Community Giving Program for the first quarter of 2019.
The animal shelters benefitting from this program include the Beaver County Humane Society, Action for Animals Humane Society, Two Ladies and Four Paws Rescue, Animal Protectors, Steel City Rescue, Butler Humane Society, Animal Friends, and the Hancock County Shelter.
Financial centers in Chippewa, Center, Hopewell, Latrobe, Lower Burrell, Delmont, Butler, and East Liverpool are participating and have received a wish list of items needed by the shelters. Due to recent flooding at the Beaver County Humane Society, cash donations will also be accepted at the Hopewell, Chippewa, and Center financial centers in order to provide extra assistance.
In addition to the donation drive, Clearview is also holding a Love Your Pet Contest. Clearview members and the general public submitted photos of their pet through Clearview’s social media channels through Feb. 21. The public can vote on their favorite pet photo from Feb. 22-28. The winning photo with the most votes will be announced on March 1 on the Clearview Facebook page. The winning “pet parent” will receive a donation in their name to a 501(c)(3) nonprofit animal charity of their choice and four tickets to the Pittsburgh Penguins game on March 5. The runner-up will receive an autographed picture of Pittsburgh Penguins goalie, Matt Murray.
Clearview said its employees celebrated National Love Your Pet Day on Feb. 20 by posting photos of their beloved pets in the lobbies of the financial centers. Members are being invited to add to the display with photos of their own pets and donate to the cause during this first quarter of 2019.
