Joe Popielarz from The Resource Center’s Information Technology Department poses with some of the items collected at TRC this holiday season to aid area animal shelters. Popielarz developed this initiative last year, calling it “Santa Paws Is Coming to Town.” The goal was to gather donations of toys; food and treats; towels and blankets; cleaning products; and office supplies. The initiative was so successful that Popielarz decided to do it again, this year calling it “Santa Paws Is Coming Back to Town.” The items collected were delivered to the Chautauqua County Humane Society and Pick of the Litter.
