The Eau Claire County Humane Association serves as an advocating human voice for the animals who cannot speak for themselves. They are driven with the passion to help homeless furry friends find their forever home and serve each one that enters their doors. Jessica Stewart, Development Director, says that ECCHA is a non-profit organization that does not receive any additional government funding or money from other animal welfare organizations, they rely solely on donations from community members.

The $10,000 donation from Markquart Gives Back 2018 will be used to provide food, shelter, medical care and companionship to the abandoned animals that the organization is caring for. Stewart told us that, on average, it costs $15 per day per animal to give these resources. Additionally, they offer a Pet Pantry that is open to the public for pet owners that need assistance providing food and other supplies.

Thank you to everyone who voted during Markquart Gives Back 2018. We are so excited and overwhelmed by the outpouring of support and response of the community. Stay tuned in next holiday season for Markquart Gives Back 2019!
