Basket Party & Spaghetti Dinner

The Conemaugh Township Volunteer Fire Department and Johnstown Animal Welfare Society (JAWS) are hosting a joint Basket Party/Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser on Saturday, November 8th and Sunday, November 9th at the Conemaugh Township Volunteer Fire Department.

The Johnstown Animal Welfare Society (JAWS) consists of animal advocates, trappers and rescues who have combined resources to bring positive change to the many animal welfare problems in the City of Johnstown and its surrounding communities. Many of these individuals have small in-home rescues, in addition to working full-time jobs. Everything we do is volunteer based and much of the rescue funds come out of their own pockets. Proceeds will be used for initiatives like Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) programs, community outreach and monetary support for our rescues. We are always in need of wet and dry food, litter, cleaning supplies, medication, blankets, dewormer, and flea treatment. JAWS is a Vision 2025 Capture Team and operates as a nonprofit under the Community Foundation for the Alleghenies.

Your support is invaluable and greatly appreciated! Any amount, no matter how small will make a significant difference in our efforts. We also welcome non-monetary donations, such as baskets filled with your favorite food, household items, gift certificates (restaurants, grocery, hair salon, area stores, etc.), bath accessories, event tickets, car washes, etc.

Conemaugh Township Volunteer Fire Department relies entirely on grants, fundraisers, and the generosity of our community. Every donation, big or small, directly impacts our ability to respond to emergencies effectively. Your support helps us purchase vital equipment upgrades and provide critical training for our dedicated volunteers, ensuring they have the resources to protect you and your loved ones.

To express our gratitude for your generosity, we would be pleased to acknowledge your contribution publicly, on our website or social media platforms, unless you prefer to remain anonymous. All donations are tax deductible and proceeds from this event will support ongoing operations and critical services provided by both organizations.

If you would like to donate, please contact Kathi Howrylak or Sharon Novatny to arrange drop off or pick-up of your donation. Thank you for your time and consideration. Your generosity will make a real difference in our ability to support the fire department and the feral/stray cat population in our communities.
