There are many civic organizations that help make our society healthy. It’s very important to support these organizations. There are many ways to support them by volunteering your time and making donations. An important aspect of a healthy civic society includes organizations like the Bedford County Humane Society, Saxton Volunteer Fire Company, and Habitat for Humanity because these organizations provide assistance to those who are in need. The Bedford County Humane Society gives care to dogs and cats through donations from businesses, fundraisers, and individual people. The Saxton Volunteer Fire Company is a non-profit group of trained individuals who spend their time serving the community by fire and rescue to emergency calls, and so …show more content…
They’re a no-kill animal shelter for dogs and cats. They first opened in 1989 and have rescued thousands of dogs and cats. They have rescued animals that have been abused and neglected. They provide rehabilitation for mental and physical abuse. Around ninety-eight percent of their rescues come from Bedford and Fulton Counties. They have placed thousands of dogs and cats in loving homes. You can go to their website and put an application in to adopt a dog or cat. On their web site, you can also see the animals, make donations, and read about the history of the humane society. They are always in need of volunteers to walk, bath, and socialize with the animals. These animals are given the best possible vet care. They are non-profit, which means everything is donated through the community and fundraisers. I did a fundraiser this spring for them to complete my community service hours for high school. We got over seven hundred dollars in donations and a van full of dog and cat food and supplies. Your support keeps these organizations afloat. It’s our civic responsibility to take care of the pets we have and to get them spayed and neutered to help keep the pet population …show more content…
They go above and beyond to help the community by responding to fires, auto accidents, ambulance calls, and so much more. These services are all voluntary, so they don’t get paid to go on these runs. These men and women use their own personal time to help our community in a big way. They provide fire and ems staffing twenty-four hours a day with over one hundred-fifty members. This year alone they have gone on four hundred and fourteen EMS calls and one hundred and sixty-four fire and rescue calls. That is an enormous amount of work on their part and they never ask for anything in return. The main service areas are within seven municipalities, that provide dual-dispatch response with three other companies. Within the company are state-certified instructors for many different rescues, including technical, heavy, animal and confined space rescues. They are always going to different types of training and learning new ways to help the
As a result of, the company can help get animals adopted that are in the shelters placed into new homes. With every animal adopted, we can offer a free bag of Only Natural Pet Food
I will admit that PETA has done some things that go along with their animal rights ways and have helped many animals in need. Some things they have done to help the animals would be, helping rescue animals who are in need, bringing the mistreatment of animals to the public’s attention, and relocating and finding homes for those animals who have been abused or neglected. This is People for the Ethical Treatment of Animal’s side, However there is always two sides to each story.
The subculture that I picked out to study during this semester was the Rapids Volunteer Fire Company. I am a part of this subculture already and would like to express how important this volunteer job really is. Many people do not think of local volunteer fire companies that often when not much is really going on in your community. However, volunteer fire companies have a really important role in their community. Not only do they help keep the community safe, they try to keep the community involved in what is going on. Mike stated that he likes to “help people and better my community during my free time” (M. Moore, personal interview, March 28th, 2016). Since volunteer fire companies are not on duty twenty-four hours so people have to dedicate time
A Not-for-profit organization has comparable issues like a for-profit organization. Its main goal is not making money; it is serving the community. However, to serve that mission, it has to make money. This analysis will be on the not for profit organization PetSmart Charities and the for profit organization Home Depot these organizations differ tremendously because they stand for different values and two completely separate agendas. PetSmart Charities is based on helping save innocent animals, they also focus on placing them with loving families to live out the rest of their lives while just having enough funds to run a caring establishment. Whereas Home Depot is all about making money and supply the customer with the quality of products that
As a member of the National Honor Society and resident of Cumberland County, I have spent numerous hours dedicating myself in giving back to the community. I have helped in volunteer coaching a t-ball team for Dixie Youth League and have also
The American Red Cross is funded by donations as well as cost-recovery fees that are charged for some services. In certain circumstances, the Red Cross receives money from the government because the government has contracted them to carry out some projects. The American Red Cross is also a non-profit, charitable organization exempting them to taxes. The majority of staff is made up of volunteers. Even the board members are volunteers. Approximately, 40,000 employees are mainly nurses.
I would like the NJHS to be involved in services for veterans and active service members. I think that doing something for veterans and active soldiers is very important because while we are sitting at home watching television, active soldiers are out fighting for us. Many veterans are being treated unfairly, and it’s not ok. This is near and dear to my heart because my uncle, Ryan, is an army sergeant and is being deployed for 9 months this upcoming April. I also think it would be great to do something for animals. This is also dear to my heart because I had 2 dogs that died from cancer. I love animals so much and would love to do something for
American Red Cross has been viewed as the nation’s elite humanitarian organization, dedicating themselves to aiding people in need throughout the United States. The American affiliation has also held a joint association with the global Red Cross and Red Crescent networks throughout the world. They are highly dependent on the contributions of American public volunteers time, blood, and money to help support their lifesaving services and programs. All volunteers and employees, alongside the generous donors share a mission of preventing and relieving suffering, not just in the United States but around the world. According to RedCross.org they do this through five key service areas:
With the ultimate goal of an animal shelter is to find loving homes for animals in need of adoption or help lost animals reunite with their owners, happy endings are not always the case for animals. Of the 7.6 million companion pets who enter
Nonprofits serve multiple roles in improving the quality of life (The Philadelphia Foundation)They are created and put in certain communities for different reasons pertaining to each situation and enhance the environment in that way. Think about it, when you drive through a community with lots of homeless people, what do you automatically think? It’s poor community, right? Well I do, and you never want someone to think poorly of the place you liv...
Eventually when the dogs are helped due to rehab centers they can find a home. In other words, when dogs are put in fights there is a fear they have towards us. With the association of the ASPCA help is provided for these dogs with
From all the money that is made 3% goes the the staff, 19% goes to fundraising, and 78% goes to animal protection services (You love helping animals. So do we.). From all of that, 75% of their income comes from contributions and grants, 13% from bequests, 10% investments and other assets, and then the last 2% is revenue from investments and miscellaneous income (You love helping animals. So do we.). Their target population is the animals in need, and their mission that they have set out to for is, “In the U.S. and around the world, The HSUS is leading the way to a better future for all animals. Get to know our work.”. (You love helping animals. So do we.) The humane society does a great job at what they do, when I was there I saw that they where taking care of all the animals that they have taken in. All that was done with high standards and everything was relatively clean for the number of animals that they have at any given point of
These volunteers don’t always have the time to oversee HOA matters consistently and third party management companies can be solicited (who actually have no ‘personal’ interest in the

“You 'll make the jobs of everyone working for animals a little easier by lending a hand and spreading the message of responsible pet ownership and animal protection” (Top Reasons to Volunteer). Most of the time the new volunteers do not have the experience that the older volunteers have. If there is something that needs to be done and one of the volunteers do not know what to do next suggest to them that a certain chore needs taken care of. Also, if you see a dog got out or is being aggresive go and get the staff to help and ask for guidance. The animal and your safety is the most important
