Around the end of November each year, people all over the world come together and donate for GivingTuesday. We are always awestruck by the sense of community created when millions of people collectively support charitable organizations on a single day.

So many of us are dealing with social distancing and isolation, and while those are extremely important for helping everyone stay healthy and safe, it can get very lonely! We're feeling that sense of loneliness at Humane Society of the Ozarks (HSO), but we're also encouraged by all of the unique ways people are trying to stay connected.

GivingTuesdayNow is a new global effort being held on May 5th to promote charitable organizations and their urgent need for support during these uncertain times. We are reaching out to let everyone in our community of friends, supporters, and volunteers know that this event is another unique way to connect with others around the world.

 Whether you donate financially or promote this event through your social circles, know that we (HSO) and other charities around the world are so grateful to have you engaging with others and helping connect to charitable missions and people who are doing good work! We hope to see you on May 5th!

 If you feel moved to donate today, our immediate need is continuing to help more animals be spayed & neutered in our area as well as helping control the feral cat population. We cannot overstate how especially appreciative we are of those who can make a supportive gift to HSO at this moment in time. Here's a quick link for you if you are able and willing to help HSO keep pursuing our mission.
