Community Involvement

A.W. Brown Pet & Garden Store has been a supporter of local non-profit organizations and charities in our community for over 50 years. A.W. Brown's awards thousands of dollars annually through charitable contributions and donated gift certificates that are used for various door prizes, raffles and other incentives at fundraising events. In addition, our store offers onsite meeting areas for several rescue and adoption agencies, and informational kiosks for local organizations looking to share their message.

Given the current economic climate and the increasing needs of many worthy local organizations, A.W. Brown is not always able to make contributions and/or assist in fundraising campaigns due to the impact of the recent recession on our ability to make financial donations. We will continue to review every request carefully and determine if and how we can help.

We appreciate your support and look forward to continuing our role as a generous corporate citizen serving the non-profit needs our local community.
