Thank you for your interest in hosting an event to benefit the Greenville Humane Society! We receive many event and fundraiser requests each year and are grateful for the amount of support that we gain from the Greenville community and beyond.
Since we are an organization with limited resources, we are unable to participate in every offer that we get. Because of this, we have to limit the number of events we attend and must prioritize them based on how each fundraiser fits our needs and capabilities. Thank you for understanding.

Our historic Southern Railway caboose, built in the Hub City of Spartanburg in 1947 needs a little maintenance. After 71 years of various uses, the roof and windows and walls could use a facelift.
The Hub City Railroad Museum tells the uniquely important role Southern Railway and others played in Spartanburg’s history. The caboose is a vital part of our mission. Restoration of the caboose will lead to many years of happy memories and celebrating the history of railroads in the Hub City.
Your donations will be greatly appreciated and will be used in a judicious way to repair and improve the caboose. If you’d like to help financially, please mail a check to:
2123 Old Spartanburg Rd, suite #129, Greer, SC 29650
