What Do Volunteers Do?

Help at our Wags to Riches Thrift Boutique

The success of our store will depend largely on volunteers like you. The more volunteers we have to staff the store the more hours we can be open.  Should you have any questions please contact us at 594-2255.

We’re looking forward to this exciting new venture and thank you for your support.

Do you have carpentry skills?

We need help building shelters for outdoor stray and feral cats.  If you have carpentry skills, please check out this instruction manual for building warm shelters out of styrofoam.

Kids Can Help

Children under the age of 18 are welcome to volunteer so long as they are supervised by a parent or other adult. This is a great way to teach them about compassion and the need to lovingly care for other animals.

Volunteer Spotlight

This section will highlight our wonderful volunteers.  If you have had a good experience with an HSSC volunteer and would like to share it with us, please send us an email.
