Special guest blog post by Morganne, Second Chance Volunteer<\/em><\/h4>\n

As a volunteer, I package pet food that gets delivered to (human food) pantries and, in some cases, I package donated pet toys for fundraisers. I even fold newsletters for upcoming fundraisers. To make all those cats and dogs out there happy, that\u2019s why it\u2019s done.<\/p>\n

In many instances, it helps the owners too. There are people out there who can\u2019t afford to feed their pets or themselves at times, and it\u2019s truly heartbreaking because of the sacrifices those people make to keep their furry companions around. Sometimes, their pets are all they have.<\/p>\n

Pets are like loved ones, losing even one is very painful, no matter how old you are. Even animals have feelings for their human companions, so it\u2019s important that we give them the support they need to be happy and healthy.<\/p>\n

Although bagging food or toys can be a little tedious, I do it because it feels good to help animals and humans alike. They need us, as much as we need them. That\u2019s why I keep coming back every week and feel honored to be providing this service for the greater good.<\/p>\n
