Join us for the Reese Fund: Day of Compassion

On June 24th, we are coming together, online and in person, for a powerful 24‑hour fundraiser supporting the Reese Fund, created in honor of sweet Reese, a dog who endured unimaginable cruelty at the hands of a human. Today, the fund provides emergency medical and recovery care for animals who have experienced severe neglect, cruelty, or abuse.

Your generosity also helps support the Reese Pet Food Initiative, a new partnership with Lorraine’s Soup Kitchen in Chicopee. This program provides pet food and supplies, both onsite and through their mobile delivery service, to families who need extra support to keep their pets healthy, safe, and at home where they belong.

A Day of Giving & Community Support: From midnight to midnight, we will be raising funds online, and from 10 AM–2 PM, we invite you to stop by the Thomas J O’Connor Animal Control and Adoption Center at 627 Cottage Street in Springfield for an in‑person Pet Food Drive.

WE WILL BE COLLECTING:

  • Dog & Cat Food (Wet and Dry)
  • Treats - No raw hides please
  • New Toys.

Enjoy lunch from our friends at Wandering Waffles and checkout our exclusive Reese Day t‑shirt, available both online and onsite at TJO for 1 day only!

Please consider making a gift on June 24th to the Reese Fund: Day of Compassion. We have a goal to raise $10,000 for the Reese Fund and to collect 400lbs of pet food for Lorraine’s. Together, we can give animals a second chance, keep pets fed, and strengthen the bond between people and their animals.

Don’t want to wait until June 24th? You can make your donation today.
