As part of the 21st Annual One City Celebrations North District Food Collection events, Councilwoman Sharon Scott is partnering with the Newport News Department of Parks and Recreation and PETA to offer dog and cat spay surgeries. Owners can receive the services for their pets by donating at least 10 nonperishable vegan food items. The event takes place on Wednesday, Dec. 14, from 9 a.m. – 8 p.m. at Denbigh Community Center (15198 Warwick Blvd.). Appointments are required and limited, so register as soon as possible. Call 757-622-7382 and select option 3. The spay and neuter clinic is part of a week of activities designed to support and empower Newport News residents. Make plans to attend the 21st Annual One City Celebrations North District Job Fair on Thursday, Dec. 15, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at Denbigh Community Center.

Bring your nonperishable foods (not just vegan!) to the Food Drive Collection on Saturday, Dec. 17, from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. at Denbigh Community Center.
