Second Chances Happen Here

Across our city and province, there are animals (and their humans) in crisis. Many are simply looking for their next meal. It takes many heroes to help keep the Winnipeg Humane Society (WHS) in operation and working to ensure no animal goes hungry.

“Every time we go out, we see people who are very appreciative of the food bank and happy that they are able to feed their pet.”

Two of those heroes are Sadia and Sharukh, who volunteer their time as WHS Emergency Pet Food Bank Drivers, collecting and distributing pet food for families in need. Growing up in the Islamic faith, both of their parents donated, a core belief and practice of Islam and encouraged Sadia and Sharukh to do the same.

“It is important to both of us to give back to the community in any way we can, whether it’s financially or with our time,” says Sharukh. So every month, Sadia and Sharukh load up their car and deliver much-needed pet supplies to families who need a helping hand. Sadia is the driver and navigator, while Sharukh handles the deliveries.

These two heroes, plus countless others have delivered food to over 2080 families this year, keeping furry bellies full and pets in their homes. We can’t do it without you. Be a hero to an animal today.
