Mahalo to Aloha United Way

The Oahu SPCA was recently selected as an Aloha United Way designation agency due to its continuing efforts in helping the homeless population deal with their pets while seeking temporary housing.  This falls under Aloha United Way’s requirement to have agencies have some heath and human service component in the work that they do.

According to OSPCA Executive Director, Abbey Lightning-Bingham, the shelter was selected by Aloha United Way as a result of the efforts that the no-kill animal shelter had done in the health and human service area - helping to foster and take care of the pets from the homeless while they are in transitional housing.  The shelter was actively involved with a major emergency rescue at Mai’li Point on the Waianae Coast and assisted with taking care of the animals from the homeless families while in the process of finding transitional homes. 

“We are thrilled that we have come on board as a partner with Aloha United Way and know that they are a remarkable non-profit organization that we are proud to be affiliated with,” said Lightning-Bingham.  “It is our mission to rescue, rehabilitate and re-home animals in finding their forever homes.”   

As Aloha United Way launches its Pacesetter fundraising campaign on May 31st, contributors may select OSPCA as their non-profit organization of choice by selecting designation number 75921.  This can be done online at http://www.auw.org/ or through the pledge forms in the workplace campaigns.
