Donate
Instead of gifting subs and bits, I’d prefer your money go to something that can make a difference. Below are a few of my favorite local charities that you can give to that would mean the world to me. The organizations below are a few that I’ve had personal experience with, so I know they do amazing work.
When you donate, be sure to leave a note/comment and let them know that you were sent to them by lizbot27 on Twitch. Leaving encouraging words to them about what they do and how it makes an impact. They may know our community and they may not, but that’s okay!
Tipton County Paws & Claws
Tipton County Paws and Claws is a growing group of volunteers who are dedicated to saving shelter animals as well as strays and owner surrenders in our community. They are strong spay/neuter advocates and are always looking for ways to help control the pet overpopulation in our area. All donations go toward things such as vaccinations, de-wormer, spay/neuter, feral cats, transportation, and anything else we can do to help the animals at the shelter live healthy lives until they find their way to furever homes! They are a registered 501(c)3 charitable organization!
