During the month of May, all profits from her tupperware business, Casey's Tupp Tupp Tupperware, will help the animal rescue buy food supplies, bedding, medication, and treatment for animals in need.
"AWAR's really helped me and my family, having children with special needs," she said.
"The animals that we've gotten from them have really helped our family."
When her family fostered their second dog Ruth from the rescue hub, their new pet came into their lives at a very important time.
Ms Bingham had just lost her grandmother, who she had considered her best friend.
