We will be volunteering at the Pasadena Humane Society to make dog toys, cat toys, and cat beds for the animals!

Volunteers will gather in one of the PHS classrooms and make cat beds, cat toys, dog tug toys to provide warmth and enjoyment to the animals at the shelter.

This event provides an opportunity for Trojans to be social with each other while creating needed items for the animals. Volunteers must bring their own supplies.

Please sign-up using the official USCAA Day of SCervice Registration page.
