101.5 GO FM in Kelowna and 97.1 GO FM in Penticton are joining forces for the 2nd Annual GO FM Furry Friends community donation drive benefiting the Okanagan Humane Society (OHS).
The event is today until 5 p.m. at the PetSmart locations in Kelowna (1500 Banks Rd Unit 102) and Penticton (102 Warren Ave E). Everyone is invited to drop off donations of dog food, cat food, treats, and kitty litter, or contribute monetary gifts that will be matched dollar-for-dollar through the Angels for Animals campaign.
“At GO FM, we believe no one should have to choose between feeding their pet and feeding themselves,” said Samara Emsley, Okanagan Promotions Director for Vista Radio. “Pets are family, and they shouldn’t be forgotten. We created this drive to meet the needs of animals
in our community, and we’re excited to see everyone come out and show their support.”
OHS volunteers will be on-site at both locations, with OHS alumni dogs and adoptable pets on-stie to meet visitors. Donations collected throughout the day will go directly toward supporting OHS efforts to care for and shelter animals across the region. Organizers are encouraging families to make a day of it, bringing children along to learn about animal welfare while contributing to a cause that benefits their own community.
