This year, to keep communities safe during COVID-19, the Ontario SPCA and Toronto Humane Society are encouraging you to enjoy cupcakes at home and make an online donation to support your local participating animal organization.
“Who couldn’t use a delicious mid-winter pick-me-up treat?” says Daryl Vaillancourt, Chief, Humane Programs & Community Outreach, Ontario SPCA and Humane Society. “Enjoy a cupcake on National Cupcake Day and make a donation to provide urgently needed care and shelter for homeless animals.”
