We are thrilled to share that our Giving Tuesday fundraiser at Ojai Valley Brewery was a huge success! We received a total of $11,226 in online and in-person donations throughout the day, well over our goal of $10,000! Thank you to all who came out to support the HSVC and help animals in need!

Many of our staff, volunteers, and supporters were in attendance to partake in the silent auction and enjoy a beer for a good cause. HSVC Board Director Judy Diaz sponsored the event by offering to match donations up to $1500. We are happy to report we received $1641 in donations at the event (not including online donations), maxing out her offer to match! Thank you for your support, Judy! 

There were also several HSVC alumni pets in attendance. The first 20 at the event were gifted a free beer ticket, courtesy of Ojai Valley Brewery, as a thank you for choosing to adopt not shop.

In addition to the funds we received on Giving Tuesday, we also received donations all November as part of our month-long Giving Tuesday campaign, for a grand total of $14,392! From all the staff and animals of the HSVC, thank you to everyone who donated in support of our Shelter. As a private nonprofit, we know we could not do what we do without the support of our community. We are grateful for your continuous support!
