Happy Birthday, Madiba! Choose to pledge your 67+ minutes to TEARS
Spread the love and choose TEARS Animal Rescue for your charitable contribution this year on Mandela Day. Each year, TEARS is blessed with a flood of volunteer support allowing us to complete projects that we wouldn't be able to without all of the extra hands. Throughout the past two years, we were unable to have a lot of volunteer support due to COVID-19 and the National Lockdown. Unfortunately, we also were not able to hold a Mandela Day event during 2020 and during 2021.
For 2022, our Kennels and Cattery are dreaming big and have put together some projects that we really need some helping hands with.
Explore the Mandela Day Projects, pick a project that is close to your heart and register! We'll send you an email with the supplies you'll need to bring with you. To make things easier, you can order the supplies you'll need for your project from the TEARS Online Shop - they'll be ready and waiting for you at the shelter for your volunteer shift. Section 18A tax deduction certificates are available on request!
We are so excited for you to us this Mandela Day and help us make the TEARS Shelters the best that they can be. A happy shelter makes for happy pets - and helps them get adopted quicker.
