Akron Rescue Cats locked out of Facebook account during peak fundraising season

AKRON, N.Y. (WKBW) — Akron Rescue Cats, a small volunteer-run nonprofit, said it has been unable to access its Facebook page since Tuesday morning.

“Right now we can’t access our Facebook page, which is our primary source of communicating with our supporters,” said Executive Director Stephanie Barber. “You’re able to see our page, but we are not able to communicate with our supporters, adopters, or followers.”

Barber believes the issue stems from an internal Meta error. For the organization, the timing couldn’t be worse.

“Fundraising for nonprofits is a really big time of year, so we’re kind of missing out on being able to get our message out to supporters and ask for donations,” she said.
