Volunteers; The Heart of Fidelco
Fidelco cannot exist without our incredible volunteers. From those who maintain our kennels, to the people who help plan and execute our fundraising events, to the foster families who raise and socialize our puppies, we treasure each and every interaction with these volunteers who are the heart of our organization.
Our volunteers have the satisfaction of knowing that their every effort benefits men and women with visual disabilities who desire to live their lives to the fullest. Click here to learn more about the Fidelco clients whose lives have been touched by our wonderful volunteers.

The (New) 2008 Walk for Fidelco, Saturday, May 17th
We’re calling our 2008 Walk for Fidelco “new” because it’s going to take place in a new location, Manchester Community College (MCC), at a new time, 8:30-10:30 a.m., and it will feature a new treat; complimentary snacks and beverages to all walkers and their dogs.
MCC is graciously letting us use their paved hiking trails that wind through the peaceful wooded areas surrounding the campus. That means no muddy shoes and no muddy paws! There’s also ample free parking, music, Walk and team prizes and Walk T-shirts for everyone who raises $75 or more. There will also be balloons and (temporary) tattoos for the children.
So make plans to join us on May 17th for the “New” 2008 Walk for Fidelco! For more information, contact Jan Adams at 860-243-4801 or visit www.walkforfidelco.org.
Host an Event
With some creative thinking and a few friends, you can host an event for Fidelco. Some examples of successful events include car washes, road races, wine tastings, car shows and bike-a-thons. The sky’s the limit and our staff is happy to talk with you about your ideas. Please e-mail us at events@fidelco.org.
