Take your passion for the animals to the street. Street fairs, that is!
These events are fun ways to interact with the public and help spread seeds of compassion. Education is the key to changing people’s attitudes toward animals.
Just because you’ve never staffed an information table for us before, doesn’t mean you can’t do it! You’ll be with an experienced volunteer.
You needn’t be there all day. 3 or 4 hours of your time is great. So shoot us an email and let us know how you can help!
Throughout 2018 we have been seen at over 50 festivals, reaching tens of thousands of people. We’re looking to top that in 2019!
