Canfield’s Angels for Animals hosted a Lasagna Dinner fundraiser on May 3.
Angels for Animals founder Diane Less said that the money raised at the dinner will be used to help finance a lawn mower.
“We have a volunteer who would be willing to do the work,” Less said. “Right now it costs us a lot of money each time we need it done.”
During the event, community members lined up in their cars to purchase lasagna dinners that came with rolls and salads.
Angels for Animals volunteers ushered the food from the building to cars as they passed, so community members never had to exit their vehicles.
All of the food for the event was made by Dave and Sheri Kissinger, along with Debbie and Russel Pugh.
Sheri said that the group worked to cook enough lasagna for 200 people.
“We just baked a lot of lasagna, and other volunteers will plate the food and put together the meals,” Kissinger said.
Dinners cost $10 each and fed four people.
Along with the dinners Angels for Animals offered a gift card and lottery ticket raffle.
Community members could buy a number of tickets to be entered to win any of five gift cards or 12 different lottery tickets.
Less said that the this is the first time that Angels for Animals has done a lasagna dinner, though they have held similar events selling spaghetti and pancakes to the community.
“Everything we do is to reach our overall goal, which is to end the needless death and suffering of companion animals,” Less said. “I believe we will accomplish this.”
She explained that Angels for Animals in unique, because unlike many shelters they don’t turn animals away.
