Holiday Pet Food Drive for Sophie's Circle

We are having a SALE at The Fashion Safari from December 5 through December 17 and combining it with a pet food drive for Sophie's Circle http://www.sophiescircle.com  Sophie's Circle's goal is to help families with financial hardships keep their pets at home and not have to take them to a shelter because they can no longer afford to feed them. Sophie's needs are donations of dry and canned dog, cat, kitten and puppy food, cat litter, and money to purchase pet food. Our goal is to collect 1,000 pounds of pet food over the next two weeks.

As a reward for your generosity and caring, The Fashion Safari is offering the following discounts based on your donation:

• Bring in just 1 pet donation or $1.00 and get 10% Off Your Total Purchase
• Bring in 2 donations or $2.00 and get 15% Off Your Total Purchase
• Bring in 3 or more donations or $3.00+ and get 20% Off Your Total Purchase
• (Discount includes markdowns and can not be combined with any other offer).

Let's make this a very special holiday for our community and their pets in need. Any donation would be greatly appreciated and could help keep a beloved pet from going to a shelter. Thank you in advance for shopping at The Fashion Safari. We know that we can make a difference and reach our goal with your help and support.
