“Be Strong for Animals” Accepting Final Donations Ahead of Giving Tuesday

December 2 is Giving Tuesday, and there are plenty of local nonprofits you can support. This year, we’ve teamed up with the REAP Foundation and Animal Samaritans to help launch Be Strong for Animals, a new fund dedicated to providing affordable spay and neuter services for Coachella Valley residents.

The REAP Foundation has committed to a dollar-for-dollar match of up to $10,000 for donations. Both organizations say the fund is designed to make these critical services more accessible and to help address the Valley’s growing pet overpopulation crisis.

The Be Strong for Animals fundraiser ends tomorrow, December 2 You can donate to animalsamaritans.org/strong.
