Every year, the Vancouver Humane Society distributes thousands of pet supplies on the Downtown Eastside. This is an opportunity for folks to pick up essential pet supplies such as leashes, collars, bowls, litter boxes, clothes and more! The event raises funds for the McVitie program, which provides emergency veterinary support for animals in crisis. This program ensures that loved pets stay in their homes, rather than having to be surrendered to a shelter or euthanized. Thanks so much for caring and contributing to this worthy cause!
About Because They Matter, 2024, Dawn
As a support worker on the DTES of Vancouver, I have used the McVitie program to provide financial support for veterinary care to my clients and their animal companions. This program has been instrumental in ensuring that pets receive the medical attention they need without placing a significant financial burden on their owners.
