shelter volunteers

Refuge staff unpaid

Shelter volunteers are people who donate their time at facilities that house those in need—animal shelters, homeless shelters, or emergency evacuation centers.

The work varies widely: walking dogs, serving meals, sorting donations, or simply providing company.

The shelter volunteers showed up at 6 a.m. to help with the morning feeding.
