Animal Welfare League of Kosciusko County

AWL is our local animal shelter. All animals are welcomed there. They never euthanized for space and do everything possible to find forever homes. The staff works hard to provide a clean and healthy facility. All pets are vaccinated, spayed or neutered, microchipped and receives all the care and love they need.

The costs of vaccinated have increased along with other medical supplies needed. A grant to help pay for these added costs would be certainly be appreciated.

Combined Community Services

Combined Community Services (CCS) provides comfort, hope and resources for neighbors in need. Offering ‘a hand up, not a hand out’, CCS removes barriers for low-income or in-crisis residents of Kosciusko County by offering programs that educate and support guests and equip them to achieve a higher quality of life.

Combined Community Services was founded by the Greater Warsaw Ministerial Association to stop duplication of services provided to those in need in Kosciusko County. Through support of the local churches and the community, CCS became a central agency for Kosciusko County residents to come to when they were in need. Since the beginning in July 1984, Combined Community Services has been the clearinghouse for people to come to for assistance. From food, clothing, diapers, baby formula, or personal/hygiene products to financial assistance with utilities, CCS meets a variety of emergency needs for families in immediate crisis. Over the years, Combined Community Services has added self-sufficiency programs to provide low-income households with the tools needed to become financially independent.

One Dog at a Time Rescue

One Dog at a Time (ODTR) takes in dogs that for one reason or another their family can no longer keep them. They also pull dogs in need from shelters whenever they can to help save the lives of dogs. These dogs are brought into foster homes and treated as family pets until their forever home can be found. All of the dogs medical needs are taken care of, they are spayed/neutered, up dated on all vaccines, and microchipped prior to adoption. They are also trained on housebreaking, and basic manners while in the foster home. Please help ODTR continue their work of saving dogs in our community One Dog at a Time.

Wheels on Fire Cancer Crusaders

Wheels on Fire Cancer Crusaders is a ministry outreach of Beaver Dam Church in Akron. The Wheels on Fire Cancer Crusaders team has been supporting cancer patients for over 16 years. When a patient is going through the treatments and struggles of cancer, they often find that expenses begin to be overwhelming and sometimes they have trouble meeting their basic living needs. The teams’ mission is to raise money so that life will be just a little easier during a very difficult time. The funds raised are divided between the Cancer Care Funds of Kosciusko and Fulton Counties. A portion is also given to Kim Waggoner for Project Hope.
