Kitsap Bank backs OPHS for holidays

The Sequim and Port Angeles branches of Kitsap Bank are supporting the Olympic Peninsula Humane Society (OPHS) during the holiday season with special animal-themed giving trees located in their respective lobbies.

The community can stop by from Nov. 29-Dec. 30 and select cat or dog cards from the tree which depict supplies, toys or a designated dollar amount to help animals in the shelter’s care.

“We take care of around 1,500 animals a year and do so every single day, including holidays,” OPHS Executive Director Luanne Hinkle said.

“We love to provide special treats and toys to the dogs and cats in our care, especially around the holidays.”

A special OPHS account designated for this fundraising purpose has been created by Kitsap Bank so donated funds can be deposited directly.

Additionally, animal-lovers can bring in supplies and place them under the giving trees.
