We at ILiveInEastVan.com are big supporters of all the great work the staff and volunteers do at the Vancouver SPCA. The SPCA is a non-profit organization that helps nearly 37,000 injured, abused and homeless animals each year and relies on generous donations from supporters. We provide our support wherever we can. If you follow us, you know we regularly feature many of the pets waiting for adoption. Today, we would like to tell you about a different way you can support the Vancouver SPCA. That is by contributing some much needed items from their Wish List. Maybe you have some extra items at home that they could use, or maybe you would like to purchase a few items from their Wish List for them this Christmas. Which ever way you choose to support them, these items go a long way to helping them do the great work they do. If you do purchase new items to be donated, keep your receipt and drop it off with some identification and you are eligible for a tax receipt for income tax purposes. We have set out below a short list of some of the most wanted items that would help them immensely, we invite you to take a peek:
