LincolnWay Community Bank and our employees are passionate about animal rescue and are excited to host our 5th Annual Pet Adoption Event. The event is a great opportunity for families to come out and get up close and personal with dozens of animals available for adoption at several animal rescue organizations in the area. The event is all about bringing awareness to pet adoption and the importance of animal rescue. We encourage everyone to attend. Even if you aren't looking to expand your family by adopting a pet, you can still get involved by being a volunteer or an advocate for these helpless animals in need of our help.

A dozen rescue organizations are expected to be in attendance. Alongside the rescue groups will be Silver Cross Hospital and some of the dogs from their Pet Therapy Program.

The event is from 10-1 Saturday, August 25th at the bank, located at 1000 E. Lincoln Hwy. in New Lenox. Heartland Blood Center will have their mobile coach on site for lifesaving blood donations.
