‘Cocoa with Claus for the Cause’ set for Friday; proceeds to go to Homeward Bound Waggin

QUINCY — Bruening Heating, Air Conditioning and Fireplaces, 1857 Broadway, is the host of its seventh annual Cocoa with Claus for the Cause from 4-7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 9. This event is designed for families and friends to enjoy the holiday spirit while helping a local animal shelter.

All are invited to attend to enjoy hot cocoa and take a picture with Santa Claus. This event is free, but those attending are asked to make a donation to Homeward Bound Waggin Inc., an animal rescue and no-kill shelter in Quincy. It is a 501(c)3 federally recognized charitable organization, and all donations are tax-deductible. Their mission is to rescue as many pets as possible to make them available for adoption. Volunteers from the community help with the shelter, providing rescue animals with a second chance in life. Local donations go toward achieving this goal.

Bruening Heating, Air Conditioning and Fireplaces has provided heating and cooling solutions in Illinois since 1975. This family-owned business offers HVAC, fireplaces, outdoor products and BBQ services.
