St. Augustine Humane Society

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with the St. Augustine Humane Society! We want every pet to have the chance to live happy, healthy lives with their loving families. Our programs and resources are designed to fight against the most common reasons pets are relinquished to shelters. By providing these lifesaving resources to the community, we are able to help reduce the need for animals to enter shelters, helping end needless euthanasia.

What is the Pet Food Drive Host position?

The Pet Food Drive Host is essential to the success of our Pet Food Pantry. Because the inability to purchase pet food and other supplies due to economic hardship is one of the main reasons pets are relinquished to shelters, our Pet Food Pantry provides pet food and other necessary supplies to families who are struggling financially and would otherwise be unable to care for their pets. Pet Food Drive Hosts put on donation drives to ensure our Pet Food Pantry is always stocked so these pets have the supplies they need.

Do I have the qualifications needed to become a Pet Food Drive Host?

The best Pet Food Drive Hosts are concerned for the wellbeing of animals and want to ensure that every pet stays with their loving families instead of being relinquished to an animal shelter. If you are able to work on your own, have good time management skills, and are organized, you will be an effective Pet Food Drive Host.

How much time must I commit as a Pet Food Drive Host?

Though there are many ways to host a successful donation drive, most volunteers do so by hosting collections in their communities. The time to host a donation drive depends on the goals you set and how much time you are willing to put into the drive. We give hours for this program based on the amount of supplies collected.

What are the responsibilities of the Pet Food Drive Host?

• Determine timeframe and location for your donation drive
• Advertise your event
• Collect donations from everyone you have solicited
• Ensure that all donations are unopened and in their original, sealed packaging
• Schedule time to drop off donations with Humane Society staff
