July Donation Jar: VHS Because They Matter

For many people, a beloved animal is family, comfort, safety, and home.
That bond is at the heart of Because They Matter, the VHS’s annual fundraising and outreach event returning for its sixth year on Sunday, July 19.

This meaningful event brings together compassionate supporters to distribute pet supplies and share information about accessing veterinary care with animal guardians living on the streets of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.

All funds collected support the McVitie Fund, which provides life-saving care for animals whose caretakers could otherwise not afford.
