BC SPCA shelters in urgent need of towels, blankets and sheets

SPCA shelters across B.C. are in urgent need of towels, blankets and sheets to help keep the animals warm during the cold weather.

“We always need these items, but due to the cold weather we are in desperate need of them right now,” says Lorie Chortyk, general manager of community relations for the BC SPCA. “If anyone has towels or bedding to spare, the SPCA would be extremely grateful for your help.” For the location of the SPCA branch nearest you, visit  spca.bc.ca.

The BC SPCA is a non-profit organization funded primarily by public donations. Our mission is to prevent cruelty and to promote the welfare of animals through a wide range of services, including cruelty investigations, emergency rescue and treatment, sheltering and adoption of homeless and abused animals, humane education, advocacy, farm animal welfare, spay/neuter programs, and wildlife rescue and rehabilitation.
