1. I finally got a chance to table an event with Animal Safehouse. I volunteered last Saturday at Veg Fest. We passed out fliers and informed people about the organization; we also raised some money for Animal Safehouse. I have also talked to Abigail about doing some other small projects for Animal Safehouse such as making headbands, passing out fliers and possible having a supply drive at the Starbucks I work at, where I will collect dog food, treats and any other supplies AS might need.
2. This week in class we were reading about Violence against women. Some of the facts and statistics we learned were startling, but it’s nice to know that there are organizations like Animal Safehouse that are there to help out these women in need. After tabling that event and talking to Abigail I feel like there is a lot more things I can do to help this organization, I just need to get out there and talk to people.
3. In volunteering with this organization, I am getting the satisfaction that I have helped someone make a better life for themselves. As an animal lover it is comforting knowing that there is an organization that cares for the animals as well as the owners. They attend many different events in the community and educate people on domestic violence and the steps they can take to get help.
Yeah, glad you to finally table!
