Our Annual Stock the Shelter & Silent Auction event is quickly approaching! We hope you’ll join us and help us stock our shelves this September. Our ever famous Silent Auction (with our popular “Buy Now” option) is also back, giving you the chance to take your picks home with you that day! 

For a second year in a row, we are excited to partner with The Kandied Kernel for a delicious popcorn sale! You can click here and place your orders from August 30th to September 22nd!  More than half of the proceeds come directly to the shelter! Order pick up will take place at Stock the Shelter.
