Eat the Rainbow!

🌈Different colors = different nutrients. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple fruits and vegetables each provide unique vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants your body needs.

The more variety on your plate, the more balanced your nutrition. Nutrition Goal: Add one extra color fruit or vegetable to your plate each day. 🥦🍓🥕

Look who we "found" having a great time participating in the Stafford Founders Day Parade on Saturday! The Southern Ocean County Animal Facility, Friends of the SOCAF and Stafford Animal Control had an amazing time celebrating America's 250th birthday!

Everyone embraced the patriotic theme by dressing in period attire and other fun costumes, stepping back in time to honor our nation's history and promote animal welfare.

Even George & Martha Washington (Ashley Donofrio & Jackie Strawder) were seen campaigning for more toys & treats, belly rubs, and forever homes for shelter pets!
(Can you make out the other historical figures who made it into the group photo?)

Thank you to everyone who cheered our group on, waved their flags, and made this a day full of smiles!

Happy 250th birthday, USA!!🐶🐱🇺🇸
