Are you looking for a volunteer opportunity that could make a HUGE impact?

A small shelter in Nogales is accomplishing big things with the help of the community!

They've taken in a large number of cats and they need a little extra elbow grease!

‼️SOS!‼️

Santa Cruz County Animal Care & Control is currently short-staffed, and as they are hiring new staff, they desperately need assistance over the next 3 weeks cleaning the cat kennel!

They are open M - F from 9-5!

Mornings are best for cleaning, but anything helps!

Can anyone help out? Even if a few people take a shift once a week, it could make a huge impact!

Please Email: [email protected]
with any availability of when you’re able to help!

The Salvation Army Tucson is kicking off its 4th Annual Socktober drive Sept. 15th–Oct. 31st

SOCTOBER is simple, impactful, and essential collecting new socks for men, women, children, and PETS. Socks are the most-requested but least-donated item in shelters, and they make a big difference in health, warmth, and dignity for our unhoused neighbors. dog booties to protect the paws of pets.

How you can help:
Donate new socks at The Salvation Army Tucson Hospitality House, 1002 N. Main Ave.
BE A HOST and host a sock drive at your work, school, or church.

A warm pair of socks, and even dog booties to protect their dogs paws, might seem small, but for our shelter clients, it can mean the world. That’s what Socktober is all about.
