Sussex County Fellowship for Animals
Remember M.E. Fund
In Memory of Meredith Emerson
Meredith Emerson was hiking with her dog, Ella, on January 1, 2008, on Blood Mountain in Union County, Georgia, when she was abducted from a mountain trail. Days later, Ella was found wandering the parking lot of a grocery store about 60 miles from where Meredith had been hiking. Meredith’s body was not discovered until January 7th and the news was heartbreaking.

Meredith was 24 years old, a beautiful young woman with a passion for living, who spent the early years of her childhood in Highland Lakes in Sussex County, NJ.

Meredith had a great love for animals. She adopted her beloved Ella, who is now one year old, as a puppy from a rescue organization. Everyone has fallen in love with Ella, and she will go home with Meredith's family to live.
 
Because of Meredith's deep connection to animals, her family suggests that those wanting to make a donation in her memory give to local animal shelters. This fund for SCFA has been organized by family friends, the Segals of Highland Lakes.

To make a donation, please make checks payable to the Sussex County Fellowship for Animals or SCFA and make note in the memo on your check “Remember M.E. Fund” or “In Memory of Meredith Emerson”. Checks can be mailed directly to the shelter, or dropped off at Healthy Thymes Market, Rt. 94, Vernon, N.J. Or you can donate through PayPal by clicking the button on the SCFA's home page.

If you choose to donate through PayPal, please email the shelter the information, so your donation will go to Meredith’s memory.

Thank you so much for remembering Meredith this way.

About our shelter:
We are Sussex County Fellowship for Animals (SCFA), a non-profit organization supported entirely by donations, grants, and various fundraising events. We receive no federal, state, county, or, municipal funding. Our primary purpose is to provide love, companionship, shelter, food, socialization, and medical care for the many unwanted animals that come to us until permanent, loving homes can be found for them. Most of our animals come from owners who, for whatever reason, can no longer keep their pet.
