SAN LUIS OBISPO — Assemblymember Dawn Addis (D-Morro Bay) recognized the dedicated volunteers of Pacific Wildlife Care (PWC) at their annual Volunteer Appreciation event held this weekend in Cambria.
The celebration highlighted the volunteers' hard work and recognized their commitment to rescuing and rehabilitating local wildlife.
"For 40 years, Pacific Wildlife Care has been a cornerstone of compassion on the Central Coast, rescuing and rehabilitating our region's precious wildlife," Said Addis. "With nearly 3,000 animals helped this year alone, I'm grateful to the dedicated staff and volunteers whose tireless work has created a lasting legacy of care. Today, we celebrate their commitment to protecting our natural world and inspiring a community that values its wildlife."
"Receiving this 40-year resolution from Assemblymember Dawn Addis is a profound honor for Pacific Wildlife Care. It not only celebrates our 40 years of commitment to wildlife rehabilitation and conservation but also underscores the vital role of community support and the dedication of our nearly 300 volunteers, who contribute countless hours to our mission. Together, we can ensure a brighter future for the wildlife in San Luis Obispo County." Said Kristin Howland, Executive Director of Pacific Wildlife Care.
Founded in 1984, Pacific Wildlife Care (PWC) is San Luis Obispo County's only licensed wildlife rehabilitation organization, run primarily by a dedicated team of volunteers who provide critical care for injured and orphaned wildlife.
