About The House That Fur Built
The House That Fur Built is an idea that has slowly become a reality over the past few years. It all started with a blind pitbull named Peggy Sue, who was rescued from Craigslist and loved everyone she ever met.
With the help of Peggy Sue, our organization has quarterly “Kindness Tours,” where we assist members of the community who may be struggling. We rely on the community’s kindness through donations of funds, food, household items, and more. We hold small events and fundraisers to bring awareness to our mission while raising the funds required to gather and purchase the goods distributed during our Kindness Tours.
We aim to help local residents, but we have helped residents outside of Berks County. We are happy to go where assistance is needed the most. We hope our random acts of kindness will cause a ripple effect throughout our community, encouraging others to do the same.
THTFB is a publicly funded 501c(3) Non-Profit organization located in Berks County, Pennsylvania. Performing random acts of kindness one Peggy Sue at a time.
