Unfortunately, the venue is not available to reschedule anytime later this year. Taste of Blue Ridge is the largest
and most crucial fundraiser for the Humane Society of Blue Ridge (HSBR). It allows us to provide the necessary
shelter, food and medical care for our animals, support our adoption program, fund our $20 spay and neuter assist
program, distribute free pet food to needy families, and fund our TNR (trap, neuter, release) program for feral cats.
Given the financial toll this unprecedented event is having on families, we project the need to shelter abandoned
or surrendered animals will grow significantly during this crisis.

With that said, we must prioritize the health and well-being of our supporters, our volunteers, and our staff and not
place anyone at risk. If you purchased tickets, we humbly ask that you consider the purchase of your tickets to the
event as a donation to the Humane Society of Blue Ridge.

Your donations are tax-deductible as allowed by the law. Your canceled check or credit card statement is your
receipt. If you paid cash and would like a receipt sent to you, please email [email protected]. If you
were not able to attend Taste of Blue Ridge this year but wanted to, this is a great opportunity to support HSBR
and all its efforts in saving even more animals lives moving forward.

We have also taken precautionary measures at our Adoption Center and our Thrift Store.
The Adoption Center will remain closed to the public until further notice, but if you do find your perfect furry friend
through our website humanesocietyofblueridge.com – (click on PETFINDER in the top right hand corner),
call us 706-632-4357, and we can schedule a time to meet and greet.

The Thrift Store will be closed until further notice. We hope to be back in full operation as soon as possible.
Thank you for everything you have done and continue to do for HSBR. We truly appreciate your patience, your
generosity, and your continued support. Your dedication to HSBR and the cats & dogs we save is always appreciated;
especially in this challenging time.

If, however, you purchased a ticket to Taste of Blue Ridge and would prefer to get a refund, please
email [email protected] by April 10, 2020.

We will miss seeing everyone this year at Taste of Blue Ridge and look forward to your support of this event in 2021.
