It was very beneficial to see the property where Best Friends Animal Society houses their dogs, offers free vaccinations and other medical offerings, and overall where the animals are sheltered. The assignment given to us was to separate adult and puppy dog food into separate sealed bags, as well as, folding and organizing pee pads. Afterwards we were allowed to go see the kittens that just arrives, as well as, other cats. It was an eye opening experience as I have never volunteered at an animal shelter before.
I really liked taking this survey because it helps me be more aware of volunteering and why it is so beneficial not only for me but to help others.
I helped with monitoring the bus for the first function of the year, Yippie. It was a great experience making sure everyone was safe and had a great time at the function.
I have loved to take the time this summer to donate blood. I know that many hospitals and blood centers are experiencing blood shortages, so this was a very rewarding donation. I love to donate blood and this was an amazing opportunity to yet do it again. I think that it is such an amazing opportunity to donate blood to those who truly need it and can have their lives saved. This is an amazing service and I will continue contributing to it.
Putting together goodie bags allowed to me to see once again just how much I can help with my time and small acts of kindness. It also helps me understand just how much I help those who need it the most, and how fortunate I am to be where I am.
