How to shop for local gifts while supporting the Milwaukee County Zoo

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- There are a plethora of options for shopping for everyone on the family guest list this holiday season, from hot online deals to the old standby for teens: cash. One local organization says that the gift list can be taken care of by shopping locally while also helping the community.

The Zoological Society of Milwaukee raises money to help the Milwaukee County Zoo fulfill its goals to care for animals while educating the community. They also offer a number of gift options that they believe can create smiles while also helping the Milwaukee area.

Katie Krecklow, Communications & Public Relations Manager for the Zoological Society of Milwaukee joined us on Thursday, Dec. 15 to showcase some of the gift options that are available.
