08/22/24 (Thu 2:00) Alternative Compassion Services (ACS), Hull, MA

This is a medical Marijuana Dispensary and they have had visits in the past at the Bridgewater facility. They also highlight Pets & People in their monthly Newsletter when they do a donation every year.  This group has been very kind and generous to Pets & People in past year and they plan to run a fundraiser for Pets & People throughout August!  This is an outreach event for their community and patients. They are planning a "Happy Pet Popup Event".   Event will be outdoors but teams have access to Dispensary to cool off if needed.  They will understand if it is too hot for our teams to attend.  Ellen Kasper is a former MGH Nurse and loved our teams who visited there and got in touch with us when she left to work for ACS!
