RCHS Giving Tuesday Campaign!

As we approach the end of 2024 (already??), we take time to give thanks for our many blessings. RCHS is so grateful that so many of you helped us get within reach of our fundraising goals this year! Thank you!

And now as we look ahead, we invite you to help us get over that finish line. Our Board of Directors and staff have been working hard to put plans in place for a very exciting 2025, and we need your help to finish this year in a strong position to make that happen.

Giving Tuesday can propel us into the new year ready to provide fun events and much-needed services for the Randolph County community, and continued care and safe haven for the animals we all love so much and who need us.

Please make your gift today using this link to have your gift count toward our Giving Tuesday campaign. There's no need to wait for the actual day on December 3!
