Donar suministros

Your generosity helps the Humane Society of Charlotte provide essential care for animals in our shelter, support pets in foster homes, and help families keep their beloved pets at home.

There are several ways to make an impact. Shop one of our wishlists to send needed supplies directly to HSC, donate accepted items in person, or organize a collection drive in your community. Every donation helps us meet the needs of the animals and people we serve.

Our wishlists make it easy to provide supplies for HSC’s programs. Each list supports different needs, so you can choose the option that works best for you.

Our Pet Food Bank provides temporary assistance to community members who need help accessing pet food and essential supplies. Requests for food assistance have doubled in recent months, and we need your help to keep our shelves stocked.
