Animal rescue doesn't stop in the face of a global pandemic, and the Metro East Humane Society (MEHS) is offering a way for families to have fun and support animals in need at the same time. Camp MEHS on September 5 will feature a take home "camp" kit for families, including t-shirts and bandanas to tie dye, crafts, s'mores kits, Chef's Shoppe popcorn, Annie's Bow Wow Cups, smoothies from Source Juicery, Four Muddy Paws goodies for your four-legged friends, beverages for adults and kids, and more.
Families are encouraged to "camp out" on September 5 and watch the MEHS online event that includes adoptable animals, campfire stories, music and more. All proceeds raised will allow MEHS to continue the work of saving animals.
Camp MEHS kits are available for purchase and are $75 for adults (supplies for 2) and $50 for kids (supplies for 2), $10 for an animal, and $20 for an individual child. Kits can be picked up at the MEHS pre-event patio party on September 4 featuring Recess Brewing, or delivered. MEHS Camp replaces the organization's largest annual fundraiser, Woofstock.
