El Paso Zoo-Commissary, The Zoo’s Own Food Specialists

WOAH, WOAH, WOAH! Stop what you’re doing! You HAVE to check out this awesome video of what your very own AAZK chapter was able to do for our Commissary at the zoo! 🥝🥭🍓🥦🥬 We heard through the grapevine that they were in need of a new scale that they could use to help weigh our animals’ food, and we went to work making sure we got exactly what they need! AAZK isn’t just here to help our zookeepers, we’re here to provide support for all of our staff that work to maintain the health and safety of our wildlife! We are so thrilled to be able to provide this gift to our commissary team, but we couldn’t do it without your support! Whether that’s participating in our fundraisers, donations, or simply sharing our social media posts, we have you to thank! We’re thankful to have you all as our supporters, and we look forward to what we can do for our staff in the future! ♥️
