Albany County Board of Elections employees collect cans for the Mohawk Hudson Humane Society, a regional animal shelter that serves the capital region. I was joined by Mohawk Hudson volunteer, mayor Brian Marsh, to drop off our cans. These cans support the care of the animals, support adoptions, and protect animals from cruelty situations. Mohawk Hudson Humane Society is currently in need of linens, towels, blankets and more cans to support their valuable work.
