Opportunity Details

Feed Seniors' Pets (age 10+) *MLK 2015*

 

Hands On Managed projects offer you an opportunity to join a group of volunteers on a done-in-a-day project led by a Hands On Volunteer Leader

 

Join us in honoring the legacy of Dr. King through meaningful service to our community: "Everybody can be great... because anybody can serve."
-- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

It's a fact: many seniors who receive home-delivered meals give up their food to feed their cats and dogs.

That’s why FIDO started AniMeals. This is a partnership with Clackamas County Social Services and Clackamas Meals On Wheels programs to provide nutritious pet food for the cats and dogs of people who receive home-delivered meals. Every-other week, AniMeals serves 222 cats and 101 dogs by delivering 888 lbs. of cat food and 606 lbs. of dog food to local senior centers. There are over 162 seniors currently signed up to receive pet food along with their senior meals.

Additionally, AniMeals runs a dog food bank that helps low income families feed their pets.

Volunteers will work in the small AniMeals warehouse doing some combination of the following activities: reorganizing shelves, pulling outdated food, restocking, sorting, cleaning, or packaging food. Please be flexible as we put you to work on whatever our need is at the time!
