MASON CITY – The Humane Society of North Iowa recently received a much needed donation to their shelter: a 500 square foot storage building. The metal storage building was made by Sukup Manufacturing Company of Sheffield, IA, and was donated by Steve and Vicki Sukup of Clear Lake. Steve Sukup is the Vice President of the family owned Sukup Manufacturing Company.
The Humane Society of North Iowa constructed a new 6400 square foot animal shelter in 2009. The organization focused the majority of their expenses on the kennel and animal areas. Due to budget and construction limitations, a very limited amount of storage space was created.
“Over the years, we’ve run out of storage space,” said Executive Director Sybil Soukup. “With lawn care and snow removal equipment taking up garage space, we don’t have very much room left for things like portable kennels, small animal cages, and all the other animal care related equipment we use.”
Steve and Vicki Sukup donated the necessary funding to the Humane Society of North Iowa that allowed them to purchase the new Sukup Manufacturing Company storage building.
“We are grateful to the Sukup family for their generous donation,” continued Soukup, “and also to their company for providing such a high quality storage building.”
The Humane Society of North Iowa is a non-profit organization that serves a 9 county area in North Iowa and operates a no-kill rescue animal shelter in Mason City. In the past 25 years, HSNI has found loving homes for over 8000 abandoned, displaced, and neglected animals.
