Our needs vary by site and time of year. Common needs include but are not limited to:
- Groundskeeping/yardwork
- Doody duties (dog pens, farm animal paddocks)
- Housekeeping/organization
- Painting (walls, fences)
- Treat/toy-making
- Scanning/filing
- Carpentry (build/repair fences, structures) *Requires appropriate tools and experience.*
Please note that corporate volunteer experiences will focus on support chores rather than direct animal handling, such as dog walking.
Donations
We depend on your generosity to further our mission. MSPCA requests donations from corporate and for-profit groups to offset the cost of the volunteer experience and to support our important work. Donations are generally based on group size and the complexity of the project, and are fully tax-deductible.
