Like everyone, our shelter has been impacted by COVID-19. To help ensure we’re able to continue caring for our animals, we’ve launched the Give What You Can campaign!
While our shelter has reserves in the bank to ensure we’re able to weather difficult times, we rely on various events for a significant portion of our fundraising. Unfortunately, with social distancing restrictions in place, we’ve had to cancel or postpone several upcoming events and as a result, we’re currently projecting a shortfall of $85,000.
At the same time, we recognize COVID-19 has affected everyone, including their ability to give. With this campaign, we’re appealing to supporters to give what they can, whether that’s $5 or $100.
And to help raise funds, we’re going virtual! We’ll be holding several virtual online fundraisers, starting with virtual flowers for Mother’s Day, where you can send eCards with flowers and personalized messages to the special moms in your lives. All donations will go towards the campaign, and remember, donations more than $20 are eligible for a tax receipt. More virtual fundraisers will be added throughout the coming months. You can also donate directly to our campaign at any time.
