SAN BERNARDINO>> On Friday, Feb. 3, 2017, Amazon made a special delivery to San Bernardino’s animal shelter, surprising all the animals and volunteers with $22,000 worth of new supplies to help them find their forever homes. Mayor R. Carey Davis of San Bernardino and Chief Jarrod Burguan were there to help with the delivery of toys, food and general supplies for the city-run shelter. Davis and Burguan also took to social media to thank Amazon for their donation. Burguan also encouraged the community to adopt a pet. Over the last year, Amazon has donated more than $100,000 in in-kind and monetary donations to Inland Empire organizations, such as schools, robotics clubs and food banks as Amazon said they are committed to giving back to the communities where fulfillment associates live, work and play. The donation was part of a long-term partnership Amazon has built with the City of San Bernardino.
