Furry Friends is looking for local businesses willing to host a Giving Tree Donation Box for the holiday season. Furry Friends supplies a box to collect donations of cat food or other much-needed supplies, as well as a small display board telling about Furry Friends and its wish list. The Giving Trees are instrumental in providing supplies for cats in need. Contact Furry Friends at news@furryfriendswa.org.
Meals on Wheels People still needs volunteers to make calls to home-bound elderly on Thanksgiving as part of the Friendly Chats program. Volunteers will visit seniors just to chat, providing face-to-face contact to reduce social isolation among the elderly. In addition to Thanksgiving Day Friendly Chatters, Meals on Wheels People is recruiting bilingual volunteers who would like to become regular Friendly Chatters. In addition to Spanish, Russian and Mandarin Chinese, volunteers who speak Vietnamese, Hmong, Farsi and other languages are encouraged to apply. To volunteer, go to mowp.org/volunteer.
