Pictures With Santa

2010 Pictures With Santa At The Milford Powerhouse

Pictures with Santa was a great success this year with many generous donations. We do not have the final numbers, but the Community Sharing Pet Pantry received over $ 2,000 in cash donations and at least one truck load of much needed food. The Pet Pantry is the first pet food bank in the State of Michigan to provide pet food to families in need, allowing pets to stay in the home and serve a vital support function for the family. Currently, the Pet Pantry feeds over 500 animals a month! Thank you to every one that helped~ Kathy and Don Hourican(Santa and Mrs Claus), Alex Dehne (our gifted photographer), Peter (the printer), Howard and Carol Dubin (Carol is the reason the Pet Pantry is in existence!), Patty Kutil (always willing to lend a hand and Community Sharing's event coordinator) and Hunter and Isabella - two of the most philanthropic kids I know. Lastly, Rich Harrison who offered the Powerhouse to us. What a beautiful spot to spend a winter day!
We are so fortunate to know such kind and giving people. We will see you all again next year!! Merry Holidays !

Help Support Community Sharing's Pet Pantry And Have Your Pet's Photo Taken With Santa!

It is that time of year again. This is our fourth year taking pet's photos with Santa and helping support the Pet Pantry. This year we will be at the historic Milford Powerhouse. The powerhouse was designed by the famous architect, Albert Kahn, and commissioned by Henry Ford to power the Ford Carborator Plant just north of the mill pond (the plant was torn down, but set behind Krogers). The powerhouse sits on West Liberty, just west of the train tracks from Main Street and on the edge of Central Park. This is a great chance to witness and bit of Milford's history as well as support a great cause.
Photos will be printed on site and digital copies can be made available on DVD.
Bring a pet food or cash donation to help our friends and neighbors continue to keep their family together and healthy. Remember, the pet food program helps keep animals in safe homes, out of shelters and off the streets. It allows pets to continue to offer companionship and comfort to their human companions.
