The Windsor/Essex County Humane Society (WECHS) is set to kick off its annual ‘Strays on Streetcorners’ fundraiser, aiming to raise $100,000 to commemorate its 100th anniversary. The event will take place from Thursday to Saturday at major intersections throughout Windsor-Essex, where volunteers will be actively collecting donations. Emma Truswell, WECHS’s Marketing & Communications Manager, emphasized the importance of this fundraiser as it supports the shelter during its busiest season, particularly in summer when animal intake peaks. Last year, the event raised just over $78,000, and with more volunteers this year, the organization is optimistic about reaching its goal. Donations will directly fund food, medical care, and support for foster animals. Volunteers will be stationed primarily in Windsor, but also in Kingsville, Belle River, and Amherstburg. For those unable to donate in person, online contributions are encouraged through the humane society’s website.
