The HSMC is thankful for
the many wonderful volunteers who help us help the animals.
We receive many calls from organizations who are interested in helping the HSMC. Below are a list of volunteering/fundraising ideas for groups.
Host a supply drive- The HSMC shelter is always in need of dog and cat food, cat litter, bleach, laundry detergent, paper towels, etc. Supply drives are a great way to support the shelter and help the animals. For tips on how to set up a supply drive visit aspca.org . For more information please email hsmcshelter.com
Car Wash- A car wash is a fun way to spend an afternoon! Money raised will support the HSMC shelter animals and our spay neuter program.
Bake Sale- Bake sale are a great way to raise money for the HSMC. A bake sale to raise funds for our spay neuter program would be a huge help to the HSMC...and the animals!
You can also host a "Biscuit Bake", similar to a bake sale but all the tasty treat would be for animals. You can find many wonderful treat recipes on the internet.
Pennies for Puppies- We all have pennies laying around! A penny drive is a great way to raise money for the animals!
Yard Sale- Clean out your closets and raise money for the animals!
Pet toy drive: Collecting and donating pet toys to your local shelter is a wonderful service project to be involved in. The toys will help keep the animals in the shelter entertained while they are in their cages, and will give them much-needed exercise and help redirect their energies.

Looking for a creative service project? Why not design pet-sized bandanas and donate them to a local shelter? Wearing a colorful bandana is a wonderful way for shelter animals to get noticed by potential adopters, so you’ll really be helping animals if you decide to donate them to a local shelter.
Looking for a fun seasonal project? Making animal-themed holiday cards and selling them to family and friends is a great way to raise money for your local animal shelter.
Let your imagination run wild! The animals will thank you for all your hard work!!
