The Giving Tree is a community-driven fundraiser where local businesses display a tree filled with Furry Friends’ most-needed items
The holidays are a special time of year, and Furry Friends volunteers are excited to invite you to take part in their seasonal fundraiser, Giving Tree! This heartwarming initiative helps Furry Friends stock up on essential supplies for the cats and kittens in their care during the busy winter months. Local businesses across Clark County are stepping up as hosts for the Giving Tree, and your help is needed to make this year’s campaign a success.
What is the Giving Tree?
The Giving Tree is a community-driven fundraiser where local businesses display a tree filled with Furry Friends’ most-needed items. Employees, customers, and community members are encouraged to preview the *Wish List* of supplies, go shopping for those items, and then drop them off at the designated donation bins at participating host locations.
It’s a simple and fun way to contribute to the well-being of the cats and kittens at Furry Friends. The best part? Every item you donate helps Furry Friends save valuable dollars that would otherwise be spent on supplies, allowing the focus to be more on the care and rehabilitation of the animals that are rescued.
