Giving Tuesday 2022
Tuesday November 22nd, 2022 1:00 AM until Saturday December 31st, 2022 11:59 PM
Location: Virtual Event
26241

Giving Tuesday: Raise the Woof!

As you consider your Giving Tuesday support for non-profits that matter to you, please consider RCHS! We have a couple of major projects in the works right now, some of which are being done by volunteers, and some that need additional support to get them across the finish line.

For example, we are replacing doors on our dog building that have seen better days. The new doors will serve us well long into the future, keeping exits secure and achieving more energy efficiency. But of course, they have to be custom made and you can imagine how much costs have risen recently.

You may have seen the demolition project of the old ISO section of our cat building. We’re SO grateful to the volunteers doing this work! We weren’t, however, able to get a large dumpster donated, so we need to cover that cost and some other infrastructure support for that project.

We are hoping to raise $10,000 for Giving Tuesday to help put us in good shape for years to come.

But you don't have to wait for Tuesday to make a donation. We're set up to take donations now and we value any level of donation you can spare.

Donations can be made online through this Giving Tuesday link, or you can mail a check to P.O. Box 785, Elkins WV 26241, or just stop by RCHS during business hours.

Thank you for considering YOUR local shelter in your non-profit support for Giving Tuesday 2022!
