401Gives
Tuesday, March 31st at 6 am to Wednesday April 1st, closing at 6 pm
401Gives is Rhode Island's statewide day of giving. 401Gives makes it easy to support local nonprofits, like FOWAS. We are an all volunteer organization: all donations help the animals at Warwick Animal Shelter. About 85% of the animals who have been brought to the shelter are in poor health and require a significant amount of care. Donations like yours help provide critically important emergency and routine veterinary care, prescription medicines, special foods, enrichment programs and more for the shelter animals.
Check out our 2026 online campaign to learn how to make a difference in an animal's life!
