Calling all animal lovers: come walk Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside for a cause!
On Sunday July 20th, join the VHS team and local animal lovers to distribute pet supplies such as harnesses, dog and cat treats, leashes, and blankets to humans and their pets who spend their days on the streets. You will also have meaningful conversations with the people you meet about accessing veterinary care assistance through VHS’s McVitie Fund program.
Participants will each have a personal fundraising page to raise funds for Vancouver Humane Society’s work creating a kinder world for all animals.
Spaces are limited! Want to join? Sign up at the bottom of this page or by clicking the button below!
