Several local fire and police departments will compete for bragging rights in the chili cook-off, including Edwardsville Police Department, Madison County Animal Care and Control, Highland VFW, and Collinsville Police Department.

“2020 is shaping up to be an exciting year for MEHS with the opening of our second facility in Highland and taking over Riverbend Pet Food Pantry,” Amanda Kernan, Development Manager at MEHS. “Events like Rescuers for Rescue help us to raise the necessary funds that make it possible for us to save more animals in the Metro East.”
