Humane Society accepting donations on streetcorners

The Windsor/Essex County Humane Society will be hitting the streets over the next three days to collect funds to support their programming.

The annual Strays of the Streetcorners collects money for food, shelter, medical care and adoption services.

“Strays of the Streetcorners is more than a fundraiser,” says Lynnette Bain, Executive Director of the Windsor/Essex County Humane Society. “It’s a visible, grassroots movement that reminds our community that compassion lives on every street — and that every animal deserves a home.”

Drivers will see see local volunteers on street corners with signs asking for donations and fluorescent orange event shirts.

If you don't see the strays to donate, you can text STRAYS to 20222 to give a one-time $10 donation to the Humane Society.
