Need some ideas for a service project? Here are ideas from other schools:
- Assumption High School service day in the community: 40+ young women brought their youth and energy to the shelter for a day of Service! Over the summer, Governor’s Scholars held a similar day of service and walked all of our dogs on adoption row!
- Ballard Animal Relief Club raised enough money to purchase Kuranda beds and cat towers for our residents! They regularly socialize animals and keep our Petfinder.com web pages up to date.
- Each year, Wilt Elementary holds a fundraising project to help homeless animals! They have raised over $600 to help the shelter with food, repairs, and the comfort of the animals.
