 Neighborhood Friends Care (NFC) ambition goes further than just helping those with limited resources and/ or abilities within the Frostburg area. Their members provide the Frostburg community with the opportunity to give and receive assistance.
I met with several members from this group. The members were excited to share successes.

At the moment they are planning to shovel snow for seniors during the month of December. The group is now raising money to purchase shovels and salt as well as seeking members to serve.

The Allegany County Animal Shelter is proud to announce the commencement of their new program, Pets for Vets.

To qualify, a copy of the member's DD214 or military ID should be presented at the time of adoption, along with the other adoption requirements (Photo ID, lease agreement, and proof of rabies for any current companions).
The bond between man and animal is profound, and this program will also help heal emotional grief that many of service members struggle with after deployment. Pets for Vets programs exist in many communities across the United States. Spc. ... |
