TSA | Government Shutdown
When the longest government shutdown in U.S. history took place for 35 days in December and January, Charleston Animal Society opened their food bank to any federal workers who needed assistance for their pets.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) never forgot the gesture and sent a thank-you letter in March that read in part, “Your thoughtfulness and support of the TSA not only helped meet real needs of our impacted employees, but also helped lift the morale of these officers during a very difficult time.”
More than 1,500 pounds of food were given to 35 Families, including 68 dogs and 37 cats.
