The animal shelter does not euthanize animals that many other shelters would, according to the city's director of planning and community development.
The Greenbelt Animal Shelter is a "no kill" organization. Celia Craze, director of planning and community development for Greenbelt, said that part of the shelter's success in "no kill" is because of community support. The animal shelter has a fund, completely created by community donations, which is used to pay for extra medical expenses that the shelter would not normally provide, Craze explained. A cat named Scarlett is just one example of the shelter's dedication to save an animal's life. It was Craze who found Scarlett mangled in the street after a car accident. She had multiple abrasions, a head injury and an infected hock breaking through the skin that eventually required her leg to be amputated. Many public shelters would have …

Greenbelt Federal Credit Union general manger says school supplies are still desperately needed for some Springhill Lake Elementary School students.
In time past, Greenbelt gave generously to the Greenbelt Federal Credit Union’s effort to collect school supplies for children in need at Springhill Lake Elementary School. Now, with the start of school one week away, donations are down. They began to drop last year, Cynthia Comproni, General Manager of the credit union said, explaining the program started several years ago and received substantial donations initially. Comproni thinks the lag is due to the economic downturn. This year, she said, “We’ve been doing it (taking donations) since last week and still are in desperate need.” As a result, Comproni announced she’s added a day to the deadline for drop-offs. Now donors have until Thursday to place supplies in one of the two drop-off …
