Volunteer for Ahimsa House's 14th annual Gala on Saturday March 10th, 2018! Held at Monday Night Brewing's brand new "Garage" event space, this event celebrates Georgia's only nonprofit organization focusing on addressing the connection between animal abuse and domestic violence. Proceeds from this event support our lifesaving services to help the human and animal victims of domestic violence reach safety together.
-Volunteers for this event will help us with setup, event staffing (registration table, food, bar, silent auction, raffle), and/or teardown.
-Volunteers are asked to wear cocktail attire, but please note you will likely be on your feet for a large portion of the evening so you may want to opt for more comfortable shoes.
-Volunteers must be at least 21 years of age.
This is our first year holding the event at this venue, so we do not yet know the exact hours that we will need volunteer assistance. We will email registered volunteers an update as soon as we know, but for now, you can expect to be working for part or all of the hours between 5 PM and 11 PM.
We will be in contact closer to the event to confirm your participation and provide more details. If you have any questions before then, please contact Samantha, Ahimsa House Community Services Advocate, at samantha@ahimsahouse.org. Thank you so much for your service to our organization! We can't wait to work with you on March 10th.

Mission Statement
Ahimsa House is dedicated to addressing the link between domestic violence and animal cruelty. We offer services and assistance to victims of domestic violence with pets in Georgia and work to raise awareness of this connection in communities throughout the state. To date (June 2023), Ahimsa House has provided over 170,000 nights of safe, confidential shelter for pets in need. With over 3,000 pets and around 1,900 pet owners assisted, Ahimsa House continues to grow in the number of families we've helped reach safety.
Description
Ahimsa (uh-him-sa) House is Georgia's first and only nonprofit organization that supports survivors of domestic violence with their pets as they seek safety. Since our inception in 2004, we have served more than 100 counties in Georgia and work in conjunction with domestic violence shelters statewide to handle the care and treatment of survivor's pets. Our services include up to sixty (60) days of temporary shelter for pets, routine or emergency veterinary care, pet transportation assistance, 24/7 crisis line support, assistance in obtaining pet friendly housing, and more! Once survivors are ready and able, they are reunited with their pet in confidentiality.
With less than only ten full time staff members, Ahimsa House depends heavily on the help of members in our communties to succeed in our mission. Volunteers are essential and work incredibly hard to assist survivors on the crisis line, transport pets between facilities, foster pets temporarily (with supplies and veterinary care provided by us!), and share our services to the public at community events. Additionally, we rely on the amazing partnerships we've made with animal hospitals, rescues, and boarding facilities throughout the state!
Ahimsa House relies heavily on individual donations, grants, and corporate sponsorships alongside receiving many in-kind donations of goods and services.
