You can bring your own books or choose from our collection at the shelter. This can be a fun thing to do with a child in your life, especially with a grandchild. It encourages children to read and helps our shelter animals get used to being around kids, which can make them more adoptable!<\/p>\n Contact Carolynn Southwick at: csouthwick@healthyanimalcenter.org<\/a> \/ (610) 252-7722<\/p>\n Opportunity Link: https:\/\/www.volunteerlv.org\/opportunity\/a0C4z00000RzRxV\/dog-and-cat-reading<\/a><\/p>\n Wilson Area LINCS is looking for dependable volunteers to help ensure our food pantry stays stocked for families in our community.

During volunteer events, we start with a brief introduction of how we got started, what you\u2019ll be doing, and why your volunteering makes a difference. Then we go off to the fields to harvest a crop. At the end of the event, we tell you how many thousands of pounds of produce you harvested and how many people you fed. The numbers are always inspiring! Volunteers of all ages are welcome, but anyone under 16 needs to be accompanied by an adult. No previous experience required, as we provide all instructions and tools needed. Groups can be as big as 250 volunteers!
