RASKALS: Random Acts of Simple Kindness Affecting Local Seniors is a program for individuals and groups to help Fairfield seniors. Twice each year, in April and November, teams of volunteers go out into Fairfield to help our local Seniors with basic yard clean-up.
Adopt-a-Roadway or Adopt-a-Park is a program that utilizes volunteers to help clean up our streets and parks.
Spread the word about Sheltered Paws and our work, but also for dog adoption and spaying/neutering, too.
Collecting donated items (heartworm medicine and flea medicine, especially, as well as crates, toys food, and other medicine).
Helping Seasonal Events for our Parks and Recreation Department, such as the Fine Arts Fair, Red, White and Kaboom!, Touch-a-Truck, Farm-R-Treat, Light Up Fairfield and more!
Volunteers assist in prepping and maintaining the garden. These volunteers also assist at harvest time. Work varies depending on the season.
Volunteering can be as varied as the parks themselves: support conservation efforts, trails, fishing, history, music, birds and wildlife, gardening, photography and natural landscapes. Help at an event or program, in the field, the office, the lodge or the welcome center!
We always have a need for handcrafted items for our gift shop which is a fundraiser for the clinic. Preference is for items than can be priced at $5 or less. Can be for both pets and people.
Ride on the bus directly feeding and clothing those we serve. The bus can accommodate 4 to 5 people per service trip.
Consider cooking a meal or baking a dessert that can be taken in our bus to serve 40-50 people in a weekend.
