After delays due to unfortunate weather, next Friday, September 3rd and Saturday, September 4th, the Parkland Humane Society will be hosting their annual garage sale and barbeque.
Kelsey Bates, shelter manager with the humane society, sums up the two days.
“We do this usually once a year; we weren’t able to last year cause of COVID. There is a barbeque going on throughout the whole day, both days. It's $7 for a cheeseburger, drink and chips.”
The shelter will be asking for donations as a part of this fundraiser. Kelsey touched on what the Humane Society is and isn’t looking for,
“We’re looking for donations of stuff like gently used furniture, kids toys, gardening supplies, pet supplies, stuff like that. We’re not really looking for donations of clothing, shoes, books or old electronics.”
Bates notes that the money from this fundraiser will go towards critical areas of need for the humane society, such as the general operating costs of the shelter: vet bills, utility bills and food costs.
The Humane Society is looking for volunteers to help take down equipment for this event. If interested, you can contact Ms. Bates at 204-647-7970.
For donation inquires, please get in touch with the shelter to arrange a drop-off time at 204-638-6966.
