Satisfy your sweet tooth and help animals in need with Bake for the Animals

The sweetest way to support the Humane Society of Kitchener-Waterloo Stratford Perth (HSKWSP) will return for February.

The Bake for the Animals fundraiser will take place for the month of February. Participants can host their own bake sale with their workplace, school or for their friends and family to raise money for the local humane society. Prizes will be awarded to the top fundraising groups.

"It's a great community grassroots opportunity to support the humane society,” said Victor Dinh, manager of events and partnerships.

Stopping by a participating business on the Pastry Path will also support Bake for the Animals. Bakeries and restaurants in Kitchener-Waterloo, Stratford and Perth County with treats for humans and dogs alike will donate proceeds from the sales of a special baked good to the HSKWSP and participants can collect stamps for their passport. Completed Pastry Path Passports can lead to a chance of winning prizes such as a KitchenAid stand mixer.

Fundraisers like Bake for the Animals support the humane society’s programming and services, as the organization is reliant on financial donations.

"What a lot of people don't realize is that the humane society is a completely not-government funded organization, so we rely very heavily on the support and the generosity of the communities that we both operate and serve in and the work that we do is not only is a second-chance for animals to find their forever homes, but we also provide a plethora of community services that are designed to help keep animals in loving homes,” Dinh said.
