The Heritage Humane Society Auxiliary has been a vital part of the Heritage Humane Society for over 25 years. As a standing committee of the HHS, this group continually seeks to develop and present numerous and varied fundraising events to support the shelter while creating community awareness and education about all HHS services.
This dedicated group sponsors numerous fundraising events every year with all proceeds helping fund operating expenses of the shelter. The Auxiliary also supports many other initiatives such as the donation canisters around town, antique mall booth, as well as projects sponsored by Heritage Humane Society, like yard sales, bake sales, community events, and more.
The Auxiliary has meetings on the second Wednesday of each month at 10:15 am. The meetings are held in the classroom at Heritage Humane Society. We welcome anyone interested in learning more about the Auxiliary to please call (757) 221-0150 ext. 1001 or email volunteer@heritagehumane.org if you are interested in attending.
