Get Ready for Week Three Challenge!
We can't believe we are already drawing near the end of week two, and almost halfway through Clear The Shelters 2022! We are incredibly thrilled at the outpouring of support we are seeing for shelters like Macoupin County Adopt-A-Pet!
But dog-gone it, we're not done yet. Week three is kicking off with ANOTHER grant opportunity!
Beginning on Monday, August 15 at 9am PT through Sunday, August 21 at 11:59pm PT, Hill's will provide a $5,000 bonus grant to the two shelters who receive the single largest donations this week. The goal during this week is to receive the SINGLE largest gift from an individual.
