HOW YOU CAN HELP

FRIENDS FOREVER HUMANE SOCIETY


Volunteer to help at our fundraisers, around the shelter, entertaining the animals. We have many ideas and needs! See and download our application form at http://members.petfinder.org/~IL124/HowCanYouHelp/VolunteerApp.html

Foster our animals that need a little extra peace and quiet or personalized attention.

Go shopping! Here is our wish list: Cat litter, chew bones, treats, high efficiency laundry soap, bleach, dish soap, paper towels, glass cleaner, heavy duty garbage bags, and $$$ to cover our many daily operating expenses

 

Drop your aluminum cans by the wooden fence at the front of our kennel.

 

Adopt one (or more) of our animals! Though we enjoy having them visit our shelter, they would be happier in a place they could call home, with a family they can love unconditionally.

 

Give a better life to those cats or dogs that have stayed at our shelter too long - some poor critters have been here over four years!

 

Do you have old cell phones or laptops sitting around taking up space? Bring them to us, because we have been accepted into a program that pays for these items. They will also take ink jet cartridges, I-pods, MP3 players, digital cameras, hand-held game systems, GPS devices and radar detectors (in any condition).

Become a member of the humane society. This means no extra work for you, but the nominal annual fees are used to benefit the animals in our care. Download our form at http://members.petfinder.org/~IL124/HowCanYouHelp/MembershipForm.html

 

And remember to sign up Fido for a Dog Park membership. You will all have a great time, and the pass fees will help keep the park and pond in great shape for everyone to enjoy!

 

Give your Betty Crocker talents a whirl and bake for our annual cookie walk or other fundraising events. The bake sales are always a big hit because everyone loves those homemade goodies!

 

Drop off your unwanted (but in good shape) items for our spring and fall rummage sales.

 

Spread the word about our many needs and our good deeds!

 

Buy a bed for one of our dogs; they love to sleep on Kuranda beds, but there is not enough for everybody. To donate one, visit http://www.kuranda.com/shop/donate.php?id=3941. Kuranda sells cat towers too!

 

Contact us if you or your business has a fundraising idea or would like to sponsor an event.

 

As a non-profit organization, we rely solely on fundraising and donations to keep our doors open. Something is often being planned, but could always use fresh ideas or help, so we would be thrilled to hear from you.

 

Donate your time, energy, pennies; we will be happy to get almost anything! No donation is too small: each dollar and biscuit is greatly appreciated! With your help, there will be many smiling faces, happy purrs and wagging tails!
