Off to Lafayette

My roommates and I have confirmed flights to Lafayette for next weekend! We hope to work at the pet shelters in New Iberia, Baton Rouge or Slidell. We will work with both NoahsWish.org and the Humane Society of the US.

First thing this week, we are going to get vaccinations. I hope to find out where to get some cheap/free ones while volunteering for some displaced evacuees that made it out here to Los Angeles. My doctor was quoting crazy prices.. nearly 500 for the whole 9 yards.

Casey, a roommate of mine, is a volunteer coordinator for a national non-profit  and he recommended VolunteerMatch.org. I’ve found it to be a wonderful resource. If you are interested in volunteering, check it out.
