Volunteer: Pet Food Pantry Host

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with the St. Augustine Humane Society! We want every pet to have the chance to live happy, healthy lives with their loving families. Our programs and resources are designed to fight against the most common reasons pets are relinquished to shelters. By providing these lifesaving resources to the community, we are able to help reduce the need for animals to enter shelters, helping end needless euthanasia.

What is the Pet Food Pantry Host position?

The Pet Food Pantry Host is essential to the success of our Pet Food Pantry. Because the inability to purchase pet food and other supplies due to economic hardship is one of the main reasons pets are relinquished to shelters, our Pet Food Pantry provides pet food and other necessary supplies to families who are struggling financially and would otherwise be unable to care for their pets. Pet Food Pantry Hosts put on donation drives to ensure our Pet Food Pantry is always stocked so these pets have the supplies they need.

Do I have the qualifications needed to become a Pet Food Pantry Host?

The best Pet Food Pantry Hosts are concerned for the wellbeing of animals and want to ensure that every pet stays with their loving families instead of being relinquished to an animal shelter. If you are able to work on your own, have good time management skills, and are organized, you will be an effective Pet Food Drive Host.

How much time must I commit as a Pet Food Pantry Host?

Though there are many ways to host a successful donation drive, most volunteers do so by hosting collections in their neighborhoods. The time to host a donation drive depends on the goals you set and how much time you are willing to put into the drive. We give hours for this program based on the amount of supplies collected.

What are the responsibilities of the Pet Food Pantry Host?

Determine timeframe and location for your donation drive Advertise your event Collect donations from everyone you have solicited Ensure that all donations are unopened and in their original, sealed packaging Schedule time to drop off donations with Volunteer Program Manager

Our mission. The St. Augustine Humane Society promotes healthy, responsible, lifelong pet ownership by serving the medical and rehabilitative needs of companion animals in our community. Our programs are designed to strengthen human-pet relationships and reduce the need for pets to enter shelters. Our goal is to ensure all pets have access to quality veterinary care, prevent overpopulation, and prevent animal suffering.

Because the inability to purchase pet food and other supplies due to economic hardship is one of the main reasons pets are relinquished to shelters, our Pet Food Pantry provides pet food and other necessary supplies to families who are struggling financially and would otherwise be unable to care for their pets. Donation Drive Hosts put on donation drives to ensure our Pet Food Pantry is always stocked so these pets have the supplies they need.

Do I have the qualifications needed to become a Donation Drive Host?

The best Donation Drive Hosts are concerned for the wellbeing of animals and want to ensure that every pet stays with their loving families instead of being relinquished to an animal shelter. If you are able to work on your own, have good time management skills, and are organized, you will be an effective Pet Food Drive Host.

How much time must I commit as a Donation Drive Host?

Though there are many ways to host a successful donation drive, most volunteers do so by hosting collections in their neighborhoods. The time to host a donation drive depends on the goals you set and how much time you are willing to put into the drive. We give hours for this program based on the amount of supplies collected.

What are the responsibilities of the Donation Drive Host?

Determine timeframe and location for your donation drive Advertise your event Collect donations from everyone you have solicited Ensure that all donations are unopened and in their original, sealed packaging Schedule time to drop off donations with Volunteer Program Manager

Volunteer: Instrument Technician

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with the St. Augustine Humane Society! We want every pet to have the chance to live happy, healthy lives with their loving families. Our programs and resources are designed to fight against the most common reasons pets are relinquished to shelters. By providing these lifesaving resources to the community, we are able to help reduce the need for animals to enter shelters, helping end needless euthanasia.

What is the Instrument Tech position?

Instrument Techs are an important part of our spay/neuter and surgery clinic. Because the rising cost of veterinary care is one of the main reasons pets are relinquished to shelters, our low-cost, high-volume spay/neuter and surgery clinic serves as a way for all pet parents to get the important medical attention their pet needs. Any pet who receives care from our Wellness Clinic must be spayed/neutered as part of our mission to prevent overpopulation. Instrument Techs ensure that all surgical equipment is properly maintained, sterilized, and packed ahead of surgeries each week.

Do I have the qualifications needed to become an Instrument Tech?

The best Instrument Techs are concerned for the wellbeing of animals and want to ensure that every pet stays with their loving families instead of being relinquished to an animal shelter. If you work effectively in a busy environment, have high situational awareness, and have a working knowledge of surgical equipment and sterilization methods, you will be an effective Instrument Tech.

How much time must I commit as an Instrument Tech?

Before volunteering, volunteers will attend a clinic orientation, then will be provided with on-the-job training with an experienced volunteer until they are able to perform the required tasks on their own. While training, volunteers should plan on being present for the whole day. Once training is complete, Instrument Techs are expected to volunteer at least four days a month. Volunteers may work morning or afternoon shifts as they are available. Volunteers are expected to arrive 15 minutes early for staff meetings and stay until their tasks are completed.

What are the Instrument Tech responsibilities?

Clean, sterilize, and prepare equipment for spay/neuter surgeries Wrap surgical packs with appropriate instruments for the surgery being performed Operate autoclave for sterilization Laundry as needed Physical ability to perform repetitive tasks with hands and strong enough to wrap packs securely Must sign Volunteer Agreement and Waiver prior to volunteering Must wear wine-colored scrubs and close-toed shoes (to be provided by volunteer)

In addition to one-on-one literacy tutoring, Learn to Read has recently expanded its services throughout the counties to help people learn English as a second language (ESOL) through personal tutoring and group conversation courses.

Learn to Read believes literacy skills are vital for people to find work and to participate in their community. We tutor our students to pass the GED, the Adult Basic Education Test (TABE), and to achieve advancement in the workplace. Learn to Read depends on your support to purchase the books and other necessary teaching materials, as well as maintain the facility in which we operate. Your support is paramount to helping decrease barriers to employment and higher education that prevent our students from moving forward.

First Coast Blessings in a Backpack is looking for special individuals who care about children to volunteer as program coordinators.

If you want to help children who are at risk of going hungry on the weekends, Blessings in a Backpack Program Coordinators help coordinate weekly packing of food bags for local children to take home on Fridays.


About Blessings in A Backpack

Blessings in a Backpack is a non-profit organization that feeds school children in the United States who currently are fed during the week on the federally funded Free and Reduced Meal Program and are at risk of going hungry on the weekends.

Its mission is to mobilize communities, individuals, and resources to provide food on the weekends for elementary school children across America who might otherwise go hungry. The program works with elementary school-aged children whose families cannot afford enough food. Better test scores, improved reading skills, positive behavior, improved health and increased attendance have all been attributed to the success of this program.

Blessings in a Backpack addresses the issue of childhood hunger in St. Johns County. 

Many children face a weekend without nutritious meals. As a result, they do not have the energy to participate in simple childhood activities and are focused many on their hunger pains.

Thanks to volunteers, our organization packs nutritious, easily-accessible, child-friendly bags or boxes of small meals and snacks which is given to them as they leave school on Friday.

The children who have these foods have the energy to participate in developmental activities and return to school on Monday ready to learn. Join us as we reach out to be a positive influence on the children in our county.

About Alpha-Omega Miracle Home
www.aomh.org

Alpha-Omega Miracle Home was founded in 1997 by Lisa Franklin, a native of St. Augustine, who was once herself a teenage mother. Despite her professional success years later, Lisa was coping with an emptiness that could only be filled by God. After a period of time when she walked away from the church and living according to her Christian values, she returned to her faith. One night, while praying and asking God how she could serve Him, God placed a vision in her heart of grandmotherly women rocking infants, and sitting at their feet were young mothers. The elder women were sharing their wisdom with the young mothers and in turn, the young were caring for the old. From that vision, Alpha-Omega Miracle Home was born.

From a very humble beginning with very little money, staff, or a formal plan, Alpha-Omega has grown dramatically from one home housing up to 7 teenage mothers and their infants to 24 transitional and permanent supportive housing units caring for approximately 87 women and children annually. In 2009, Alpha-Omega added permanent supportive housing for homeless senior women and other homeless community individuals and families. As funding increased, services such as case management and on-site counseling became available, in addition to financial literacy and life skills classes.

Alpha-Omega began several outreach programs, beginning in 2007, to increase care for homeless and low-income individuals and families living in St. Johns County. The Alpha-Omega Community Diaper Bank was opened to serve families who had to choose between buying food or diapers for their children. This year, more than 10,500 diapers and wipes were given free to the community.

In 2010, the first Alpha-Omega Thrift Store was opened to help fund the transitional housing program and give unemployed residents a place to volunteer while looking for stable, long-term employment. In 2016, Alpha-Omega opened a second store in Jacksonville and is now able to support the needs of the community even more. This year, the thrift stores have provided our community with over 3,000 free household goods and articles of clothing and shoes to those in need. Because of our faithful supporters, our thrifts stores are a meaningful place to give donations, shop, and volunteer.

Because of the faithful and determined efforts of Alpha-Omega Miracle Home, many individuals and families are no longer facing homelessness and are on paths of success with joy.
