“During this pandemic, we have become more stressed, based on the events happening in the world. Animals can help us cope with our stress and anxiety. Supporting adoption of animals from shelters is a great way to start.”

“This service experience showed us how working together can help others, who are in worse situations than we are. Our work affected our community by helping them and showing people in need that other people care about them.”
-Team Leader, Communities in Schools-Western High School, 2021-2022
“Serving our community allowed us to help people, who are directly and indiscriminately shunned, ignored, and harassed because of their health and hygiene needs. Equally important, we found opportunities to provide essential health education to others.”
