good for you!! I love helping out with our local shelters. I did more volunteer work for one than the other (it had an actual shelter, not just fostering in homes), so I was there one day a week cleaning and socializing with the kitties. It was a wonderful experience, I just wish I still had the time for it (the the ability to say no to adopting more and more cats as I worked there... it just breaks your heart!).

Hope you have a great time, and you'll have to let us know how it goes and how many cats and dogs you come home with!
