The SPCA of Martinsville-Henry County announced a $50,000 match challenge active now through Giving Tuesday, November 29. Contributions received on Giving Tuesday, November 29 or those received before and marked “Giving Tuesday” will be matched dollar for dollar up to $50,000.
To celebrate, the organization will hold an Open House from noon until 6 p.m. at the SPCA on Giving Tuesday.
The importance of this fund-raising opportunity cannot be overstated given that 98 percent of the SPCA’s operating budget is funded by donations from individuals, grants, and fees. The shelter has been full, and costs have risen drastically this year.
“This community historically has been very generous when we ask for help, and we need help,” the agency wrote in a release. “Every dollar is important and appreciated.”
To help animals in the community, contribute between now and Nov. 29, and be sure to attend the open house, from noon to 6 p.m.
Donations can be made in person at the SPCA, 132 Joseph Martin Highway, Martinsville 24112, by mail, or online at www.spcamhc.org/form/donate.
