======================================================================

As a Helper, you may assist with a variety of small projects ranging from one-time tasks to recurring ones.

New and different opportunities become available year round.

Some projects are outside of our shelter buildings; others are indoors.

You may opt to work alone or on a small team (with 3-5 other volunteers).

Our Shelter Manager or our Facility Lead will explain the project details and answer all your questions.

No special training is needed...just a willingness to help make our shelter as nice as it can possibly be for our resident dogs, our volunteers and the visiting public!

Sample projects:

• Donate your clean, dry, aluminum cans and/or redeemable bottles
• Mow small grassy strip (near sidewalk) in the summertime
• Bake sweet treats to sell at our fundraisers
• Shovel the sidewalk in winter time
• De-weed parking lot areas not covered by turf
• Remove spritzers and shade tarps at the end of summer
• Take non-NutriSource food donations to Animeals
• Donate a tote of new or gently used clothes & household items to Stuff Etc (for our acct)
• Post (or re-post electronically) our fundraising flyers
• Make snuffle mats and snuffle balls for fundraising events. We'll help show you how!
