Ways To Participate
Volunteer Opportunities

“Holiday Gifts For Pets and Their People” was created and continues to be an event based strictly on volunteers and donations.  “It takes a village” to pull it off successfully!  Please see the list below for tasks we need help with.  Each item requires different time and resource commitments and can be done by individuals or groups, but all require dedication and a firm commitment. 

We welcome Boy Scout troops, Girl Scout troops, church groups, business partners or individuals to participate in the success of HGPP.  We will gladly consider those wanting to fulfill community service requirements for school as well. 

Please contact HGPP Coordinator Chris Collins at Chris@holidaygifts4pets.com with what you can provide.  

You may also visit the Junior Rescuer’s Program page for other opportunities specifically created for the young people in our community.
