AgCarolina Farm Credit is proud to announce a $3,000 donation to Cause for Paws of NC, an organization with a mission to protect, nurture, and find homes for unwanted or displaced animals.

Employees have the option to participate in “A Cause a Quarter” each quarter. The quarterly campaign requires a $25 donation from participating employees to a non-profit voted on by all employees of the association. Participants are able to wear jeans each Friday of the quarter in which they participate.

Chosen by employees for the third quarter of 2020 was Cause for Paws of NC. With employee and Association contributions, the total donation amount is $3,000.

“AgCarolina Farm Credit’s employees are committed to taking an active role in distributing resources throughout eastern North Carolina,” said AgCarolina CEO Dave Corum. “A Cause a Quarter is the product of an employee suggestion and has been a great way for our team to understand how we can all work together to make an impact. AgCarolina is proud to provide these funds to Cause for Paws of NC as they seek to provide care for animals in need of adoption. We are grateful for organizations like Cause for Paws of NC and wish them great success with their mission.”
