ORIGINAL STORY:
FORT WAYNE, Ind. (ADAMS) – Humane Fort Wayne hopes to see record giving this GivingTuesday.
On November 30, 2021, all gifts will be matched (up to $15,000) thanks to a number of sponsors.
Humane Fort Wayne released the following:
“GivingTuesday is the single largest donation day of the year for us, and because we receive no tax dollars, it’s crucial to our lifesaving mission,” says Jessica Henry, Executive Director of Humane Fort Wayne.
Now more than ever, Humane Fort Wayne is committed to serving pets and the people who love them. With the Allen County SPCA and H.O.P.E. for Animals merged as one organization, that means double the pets can be saved, but that also means double the expenses to keep both locations running. That’s why Humane Fort Wayne is asking the community to help double the giving on November 30, 2021. All funds received on GivingTuesday will support local pets and pet owners through Humane Fort Wayne’s comprehensive adoption, pet retention, low-cost spay/neuter, and wellness clinic programs.
