    Become a Business Buddy

    MVHS is looking for sponsors for special events, Adopt-a-Classroom, and more. Our events generate a lot of community support and help MVHS gain needed friends and funds. Your business can be part of an event by becoming a sponsor. Cash donations are needed, of course, but we also accept in-kind donations. Many of our events feature auctions of items and/or gift certificates donated by businesses. You could also choose to become a vendor at one of our events. Everyone who helps gets recognition in the promotional materials for the event and/or in our newsletter.

    Show the community you support MVHS! Be a sponsor!

    The Minnesota Valley Humane Society Thanks:

    For their dedication to helping the homeless animals in our community.

The Bloomington Festival Foods location is conducting a pilot program in partnership with the Minnesota Valley Humane Society to encourage customers to donate food for the animal shelter.
