Your empties could help animals this weekend.
The BC SPCA Education and Adoption Centre in Port Coquitlam is holding a bottle drive on Sunday to raise money for animals in need. Individuals are asked to bring refundable bottles and cans to the PoCo SPCA office, 3278 Westwood St., between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.
If you would like to help but can't participate on March 27, the SPCA asks that you take your returnable bottles and cans anytime to the Biggar Bottle Depot at 2577 Kingsway Ave. in Port Coquitlam and reference the account name "Bottle Drive for Animals."
"The SPCA relies heavily on community support through fundraisers like these to care for the homeless, abused and neglected animals we rescue and to find them forever homes," Martine Campbell, manager of the PoCo SPCA, said in a press release.
She noted that the SPCA also welcomes the support of third-party bottle drives to raise funds for animals in need.
