The Humane Society strives to assist Cabarrus County residents who need assistance with feeding their animals, through their food bank. Local businesses often donate food, which the HSOC pays forward to residents in need. Additionally, they have a foster program, providing shelter and care for animals awaiting forever homes.

The Importance of the Spayghetti Dinner Fundraiser
One of the key events that the Humane Society hosts is the annual Spayghetti Dinner Fundraiser. This event serves a dual purpose: raising essential funds to support the Spay/Neuter program and providing a fun-filled evening of entertainment for attendees.
- Did you know that each month, it costs the Humane Society between $4500 to $5000 to spay/neuter dogs and cats, making them ready for adoption?
This figure is just one aspect of the comprehensive care that the Society provides, encompassing vaccines, medical attention, testing, and food. If you share their passion for animal welfare, here’s an opportunity to make a difference while enjoying a night of fantastic food and fun.
Guests can anticipate an evening filled with excitement, featuring raffles, auctions, door prizes, entertainment, a bake sale, and a fully stocked bar. The dinner menu includes a spread of spaghetti, salad, dessert, and a beverage. It’s not just a meal; it’s an opportunity to make a meaningful impact.
Tickets for this heartwarming event are priced at $35 each in advance or $40 at the door. For those who want to make it a group affair, reserved tables are available at varying prices.
