Blessed to Give: Metro East Humane Society

The Metro East Humane Society serves Madison, St. Clair, Jersey, Bond and Macoupin counties and offers an adoption program for homeless animals, humane investigations and education. The organization has an animal shelter in Edwardsville.

How to help

People can volunteer to help with animal care at the animal shelter, at adoption events, with fundraising and at special events. Children 18 and younger may volunteer, but must be accompanied by a parent or guardian who has attended volunteer orientation. The Humane Society accepts cash donations and is always in need of paper towels, heavy duty dog chew toys, dog and cat treats, cat beds and cleaning supplies. People also may donate through the humane society’s website.
