This popular community gathering has frequently drawn large crowds, filling the grounds of the Aiken County Historical Museum in past years. Proceeds from the event will benefit the SPCA Albrecht Center for Animal Welfare, which is proudly celebrating its 90th anniversary in 2025.
The SPCA Albrecht Center, established in 1935, has been dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating thousands of homeless and neglected animals over its rich history. As a private nonprofit organization, it relies heavily on local donations for its funding, as it does not receive regular support from state or federal agencies.
Services Offered
The center provides essential services that include rehoming abused and abandoned pets, humane education programs, and affordable veterinary care. It operates a full-service Veterinary Care Center and runs a thrift store to supplement its revenue. In 2024 alone, the SPCA Albrecht Center successfully placed 1,152 companion animals into loving homes, showcasing its commitment to animal welfare.
Additional Community Events
In conjunction with ‘Bloodies and Bagels’, another community-focused event called One Table is scheduled for Thanksgiving Day, November 24, 2025, at The Salvation Army’s headquarters. This gathering aims to provide free meals to everyone in attendance, reinforcing the spirit of community and giving during the holiday season.
