Protecting animals on a national scale begins with prioritizing the needs of underserved communities—those who are left vulnerable, without accessible veterinary services, pet food or other resources. In my role as Operations Manager at the ASPCA Bronx Community Veterinary Center (CVC), I see firsthand just how critical our community work can be.

No matter how dire the situation—through a pandemic or other disaster—we work every day to create positive change and give back to animals and pet parents in need. But we need you by our side to continue these lifesaving efforts.

As the needs in communities shift due to crises like the COVID-19 pandemic, we remain prepared to help those most vulnerable. Through work at our CVC locations across the country, we can provide urgent vet care, pet food and other lifelines in times of need, making these vital pet care resources accessible to many. However, this work wouldn't be possible without dedicated animal lovers like you. Become an ASPCA Guardian now and you can ensure that communities and animals in need always have support, especially in times of crisis.

Your monthly gift will help us continue to be there for animals and provide urgent protection and care to those who need us most.

On behalf of animals nationwide, I thank you.

Best regards,

Lauren Fusco
Operations Manager, Bronx CVC
