The Friends Helping Friends Foundation of Cedar Rapids (FHFF) is pleased to announce the FHFF Animal Welfare Grant Program. This grant program was developed in collaboration with the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation to support live-saving animal welfare initiatives within the Cedar Rapids/Marion communities that directly or indirectly affect the ultimate success of the Cedar Rapids Animal Care and Control.

A huge thank you to our fellow CR community animal advocates and sponsors of our Lucky Paws Casino Night!

When the new shelter was built in 2013, FHFF provided additional equipment and supplies to the shelter for the surgical suite, such as dental equipment, a second surgical table, a lift table, and digital floor scale. FHFF has continued to repair or replace equipment as it became necessary due to daily wear and tear. The surgery suite’s autoclave recently gave up the ghost and needed to be replaced. The shelter submitted a request for the new autoclave through the FHFF grant application process. The cost estimate was $5500. FHFF was happy to support this request and awarded the shelter the full $5500 for a new autoclave.

Every Monday in January Karma Coffee will be partnering with Friends Helping Friends Foundation to give a portion of their proceeds to our organization. Please visit their café to support our shelter animals! https://www.facebook.com/pg/crfhff/events/
