Improving my Local Animal Shelter http://www.hsfn.org/
Many shelters are in serious need of help, especially in these times. Many animals are being given up because of foreclosure, job loss and money problems. Unfortunately the animals in these shelters are the last concern for most people. Citizen involvement is essential if progress is to be made. My local shelter is great, but often overwhelmed with all the surrenders they are getting. I donate as often as possible. but they can always use more help.
I would like to organize a meeting with other interested people by placing ads through Craig’s List and my local newspaper , correspond through email and hopefully meet at some point to set goals. Address the most serious problems first. I would also like to involve the city council, board of county commissioners, or the humane society’s board of directors in our efforts and get suggestions from them.
Part of my efforts would also be to launch a site where interested members can sell their products with a portion of their profits going directly to the shelter for help with the needs of the animals in their care.
Of course, the technology bundle would help greatly with the initial ads, the correspondences and setting up the site for me and others to sell our products, with a direct link to a percentage of each sale going to the Shelter or shelters we choose and of course maintaining the site.
