Currently, this wonderful group helps feed over 125 families with dogs and cats here in the town of Windsor. We will be collecting dog and cat food the whole month of February and early March. A box is located at St. Gabriel School, the rectory and in the church halls. They are in need of canned or bagged dog and cat food, treats and cat litter. No toys please.
