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 2008 Walk for Fidelco - Thank you for making it a great day!
Hundreds of two and four-legged walkers gathered at the 2008 Walk for Fidelco to share our passion and commitment by walking the delightful trails at Manchester Community College. Clients from as far away as Washington state and Canada enjoyed the bright, sunny skies and comfortable temperatures as they celebrated the freedom and independence given them by their Fidelco guide dogs. And our many volunteers made for a well-organized and fun event. It’s not too late to make your donation. Visit www.firstgiving.com/fidelco to sponsor a walker, favorite team or to make a general donation. And walkers have until June 1st to turn in their monies to qualify for terrific Walk prizes. Donations should be mailed to Fidelco Guide Dog Foundation, 103 Old Iron Ore Road, Bloomfield, CT 06002. Thank you participating in our Walk and for everything that you do for Fidelco!
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.
