    Our library has large boxes in the foyer that are marked for pet donations; food, towels, blankets, bedding, litter, etc. Maybe you could ask the libraries in your area for help also. I always find something to donate and the boxes usually fill up pretty quickly.

    I was going to suggest libraries but for a different reason. The often have teen group events. Book discussions, holiday crafts and so forth. Another place to let people know they can volunteer and make a difference.

    See, the thing with volunteers is, you have a constant turnover, so you need a constant stream coming in. Plus some of them are like we here on PT; we end up adopting!

    Our local library has 'meet-a-pet' or something from the local HS once a month - maybe more.

    Can't recall if the kids actually get to meet a pet - I think they do - and they and their parents get some education on looking after a pet properly!

    Please keep us posted. I agree with Donna - MEDIA FIRST! Then there will be a few more people to help with putting boxes in libraries etc.

    Hmmm I hadn't thought of the libraries. I have noticed donation bins for other things in there before and they do have a buletin board. I'll have to ask the librarians and see what they say. Thank you.
