| This program is designed to get students involved with
the community & with the Humane Society. Since most college
students are away from their lovable pets, this program helps
residents get involved in making a difference for dogs, cats &
other pets rescued by the Humane Society.
What this program is about is collecting pennies. Set up a jar in
an office, floor or building to collect pennies. The residents then
take the pennies to the bank, cash them in & then make a trip to
buy dog treats, cat treats, toys etc. After they are bought, then take
a trip to the Humane Society to give the treats to the pets. Call your
local Humane Society to clear the trip first though! Students
are immediately attracted to this program because of the pet aspect
and they also get to make a difference. It's certainly an eye opening
experience for the residents that participate.
