Do you like pets? Is there anything better than delivering cat treats and cat toys (and dog treats and dog toys) to low-income seniors and adults with disabling illnesses during the holiday season?

Come volunteer with Shanti’s Pets Are Wonderful Support (PAWS) program for their special annual event: The Pet Holiday Stocking Delivery. It will be on Sunday December 15, 2024, starting in the Mission neighborhood of San Francisco. They will provide refreshments and everything else you need. You can choose the 10am shift or the 12pm shift. Each team will need a car and a driver.

Bring a friend, a coworker, your kids – the more, the merrier! It is a wonderful way to give back this holiday season!

Happy Thanksgiving from everyone at LES! 🦃

This year, instead of just giving thanks while participating in a myth that's hurtful to native people, consider giving back, since we all benefit from living on stolen land:

Congratulations Vanessa Holman!
