❄️💙 IT’S ALMOST SHELTER SEASON! 🐻‍❄️💙
The time has come to start getting ready for another season of Citrus Cold Weather Shelter! 🙌
Whether you’re a seasoned volunteer or thinking about joining us for the first time, we want YOU there! We’re offering two convenient Volunteer Training dates in late September/early October.
Even if you’ve volunteered with us before, we encourage you to attend! We’ll cover updated policies and procedures, important training, answer questions, share information, and get everyone ready for the season ahead.
And let’s be honest… the best part is getting together with old friends, new friends, and an amazing group of people who are ready to show up for our neighbors when they need us most. ❤️
✨ Come learn. Come connect. Come serve. Come be part of the team!
We can’t wait to kick off another incredible shelter season with YOU! 💙🐻‍❄️
