I have been volunteering on Sundays since September of last year. Not every Sunday, usually two, sometimes three times per month. We (me and the rest of the group that do this) have changed things around a bit since shelter-in-place and social distancing got recommended in ways that allow us to follow the guide lines. Food is essential even for pets, everything deemed essential is still ongoing. So what we do is give out dog and cat food that has been donated. We also give out toys, leashes, collars, harnesses and pet beds. We give it out to the ones that need it for their pets, mostly the homeless and low income.
Today I put one of my Burning Man bandanas to use. I covered up as much as possible.
It has been really nice to get involved with this group, I have met some cool and strong women, I feel more connected to Portland and I get to meet all kinds of cute dogs and cats.
