November 30, 2021 is designated as Giving Tuesday, a global generosity movement unleashing the power of kindness. Giving Tuesday was created in 2012 and has grown into a year-round global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate and celebrate generosity.

We would like to remind you to donate and make a difference for animals in the Peoria area! Peoria Humane Society is dedicated to creating a humane environment for animals and humans. We are focused on ending pet overpopulation, cruelty and neglect to animals, and promoting respect and kindness to all through education and public awareness.
