Help with cat care by brushing them, playing with them, and leading activities in the cat room.
Help care for our dogs by leading them on our half-mile trail, doing training exercises, cleaning for wellness, and providing enrichment activities.
Care for an animal that is not yet ready for adoption, such as young kittens and puppies, cats and dogs nursing litters, those recovering from illness or injury, or those with special needs.
Help in many ways, from planning events, fundraising and creating marketing materials, to getting supplies ready to care for the animals.
Volunteers can also help by bringing an activity to the residents. By participating in fun experiences, the residents can make new friends, learn new skills, and thrive again as they work towards independence. The possibilities are endless – give us an idea and we’ll help you make it possible!
The residents of Tender Mercies are always in need of household items and supplies to make their home more welcoming and comfortable. Donating items on our Wish List is much appreciated by the residents as they regain stability and learn the skills needed to regain independence and self-sufficiency.
To get involved, you can organize your own cleanup event or you can volunteer for an existing project. We work with communities & thousands of volunteers to pick up litter, plant flowers, paint buildings, clean illegal dumpsites, landscape, remove graffiti, and more!
Third Party Fundraisers are a great way to be involved! Host a fundraiser of your own! Gather a group to host small fundraisers such as a bake sale, car wash or pub crawl to raise funds for the many needs our families may have. Or arrange a supply/donation drive for items from our wish list.
Sort, organize, pack and prepare for delivery household items for families in need.
We’ve kicked off a new project at the CGC: Treeforestation. We started this reforestation project to save and protect Cincinnati’s green spaces. We will begin by having a series of invasive removal workdays, and then will begin planting native trees. This is an ongoing project, and we could use your help!
