As we remember Betty on this special day, Gleaning For The World’s Pet Program stands as a beacon of hope for animals in need. Our program plays a crucial role in aiding animals during times of disaster and provides ongoing support to communities across Virginia.

It took us more than a year to turn the truck of soap scrap into 11,136 soap kits. Eleven

We are thrilled to announce that the CMVA’s efforts resulted in the collection of more than 1,100 stuffed animals during the month of September!
