HURRICANE HARVEY CONTRIBUTIONS
Thanks to all who have been responding and inquiring about how we can help the Hurricane Harvey Rescue Efforts.
We have been told that the shelters cannot handle tangible donated items at this time (dog and cat food, dog and cat beds, etc.). They do not have dry storage close by nor the time to wade through the donations. Instead, they have asked to direct people into making monetary donations. Once the waters recede, they will then take stock of what they need and potentially reach out for donated tangible items then. Please remember, they are still very much in rescue and crisis mode now. We are recommending donations be made to one of these two shelters who are currently in the eye of the storm (Houston SPCA or SPCA of Texas), as well as Austin Pets Alive! who took a lot of the animals in the first wave and could use support to care for them. SICSA will also be collecting monetary donations on their behalf. We are following the Coalition’s request NOT to send tangible items at this time. If we are called upon to help in either way we will alert the media and community and fill the van with supplies. Until then, please, monetary-only.
Thank you all for your support. It is so heartwarming to be a part of a community willing to help.
