In 1997, a fund was established by the Cambridge Animal Commission to provide emergency veterinary care for stray animals in Cambridge. Many lives have been saved because monies were available for necessary medical care which otherwise could not have been provided due to budgetary constraints. This trust bears the name of Helen K. Holland, a lifelong resident and long time employee of the City of Cambridge whose interest in humane issues was a lifetime commitment. All monies donated to the trust are directly used for animal care.
