Aug 11, 2023 | 4:45 PM

MEDICINE HAT, AB – A shortage in resources to help provide animals in need has led a foundation to host a bottle drive on Saturday.

The Furry Friends Foundation will have a truck set up from the Shamrock Bottle Depot at Crescent Heights high school from 10-6 p.m., where people can drop off their bottle donations. The foundation has seen a climbing rate of stray cats and dogs around the city.

The proceeds from the fundraiser will go towards purchasing food for cats and dogs in desperate need. April Johnson, a board member and volunteer for the foundation says they are in desperate need of help.

“It’s tremendous because we are running with a really low budget. So it’s just tremendous when we can get money in.”
