About the Program
27 Years of Hope & Giving
January 31, 1997 is the first recorded entry to the HSS Donation Canister Program, raising $4,377.33 for the animals that first year. Currently, eight Volunteers manage Shelter Donation Canisters in 59 businesses in Sedona and the Village of Oak Creek, including one in Cottonwood.
Your Spare Change Can Save Lives
Sedona and VOC residents have helped local abandoned animals for 27 years, raising over $180,598 by dropping their loose change and bills into the familiar acrylic box, usually located near a checkout counter. This past year, $8,184 was collected by 46 community businesses. That’s enough to pay for nearly 100 spay or neuters, helping pets to live healthier, longer lives, and helping to battle pet overpopulation.
Join the Ka-Ching!
Let’s face it, who doesn’t like the sound of coins dropping into a bank? With your simple gift you join hundreds of other residents, just like you, who love, cherish, and want to protect the homeless companion pets in our communities. By the way, we like the swish of a dollar bill going into the Donation Canisters, too!
