GoodSearch.com is a search engine that donates half its revenue, about a penny per search, to the charities its users designate. You use it just as you would any search engine, and it's powered by Yahoo!, so you get great results. It includes more than 100 great stores, so you can do your shopping online and a percentage of each purchase goes to the Humane Society.
This is also something that can be used by business owners, as there are many office supply stores to GoodShop with. A few of the more popular ones are Staples, Quill, Office Depot, Office Max, and more. Our cause would earn an average of 3% of these sales. So keep the Humane Society of Freeborn County in mind next time you need office supplies at work.
Just go to www.GoodSearch.com and be sure to enter “Humane Society of Freeborn County” as the charity you want to support.
Cans for Critters - We want your aluminum cans! Our drop off point is located beside our shelter at 101 James Ave. There is a chain link cage on the north side of the shelter, which we have designated for these. Remember, to give it the aluminum test. If a refrigerator magnet DOES NOT stick to it, it CAN be recycled through this program. So check more than just your pop cans.
