Volunteer: Do good and feel good - Closet Clean Out

Do good and feel good

Want to   finally tackle some things you've been meaning to do forever?… like cleaning out their closets and setting aside things to donate. If that’s you, we’re guessing you’ll stumble across some shoes and clothing you forgot you had—and will never wear again. And if you do, we’ll take ‘em.

Here's why: the average person in North America throws away 70 pounds of textiles every year. That’s 21 billion pounds of extra waste dumped in our landfills every year! And the EPA estimates only 15% is donated or recycled.

Since 2006, our amazing supporters have diverted 59 million pounds of shoes and clothing from landfills.

Soles4Souls Mission:

Soles4Souls disrupts the cycle of poverty by creating sustainable jobs and providing relief through the distribution of shoes and clothing around the world. Headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, the organization repurposes product supply its micro-enterprise, disaster relief and direct assistance programs. Since 2006, we have distributed more than 35 million pairs of shoes in 127 countries and generated over $250 million in economic impact. A non-profit social enterprise, Soles4Souls earns more than 70% of its income and commits 100% of donations to programs.

Volunteer Project:

 Pledge to clean out your closet by registering here ("Create Your Own") option: https://www.soles4souls.org/shoe-drive-registration/  Optional: Have Kiddos? Do some good while social distancing, superhero style! Here is a link to our Soles4Souls Superhero Kit! https://www.soles4souls.org/wp-content/uploads/DoGood-4thePlanet_SuperHero-ColorKit_Final.pdf.  Grab some trash bags and go to your closets  Put clothes in one bag and shoes in another - it can be 1, 5 or 100 pairs - we will take them:)  Email your bag count/zip code to Stephanie Hathaway, Director of Operations at stephanieh@soles4souls.org to determine the nearest secure, no-contact, drop-off locations that adhere to social distancing requirements.   Note: Every 20 lbs collected = 1 hour of community service!!! So if your child needs service hours for school, your seeking to fill court ordered requirements, your company does any type of corporate matching for service hours, or you are just looking for a way to serve - this will count:) Watch the impact of what you have donated: https://youtu.be/uROfTYIYRCY

Thank you for your kindness, support and understanding. The communities we serve still need our assistance and we thank you for helping us continue our mission. Please take care of yourself and one another!

Volunteer: MUST LOVE CATS - Help Needed at our Private Cat Sanctuary/Shelter

We need dedicated and dependable volunteers to help us work with our cat rescues and to help us keep our shelter and sanctuary clean. Volunteer Interview Required The People for Pets Foundation is a "private" non profit cat rescue founded in 2008. Our facility is located on a private farm in Jeffersonton, VA - about 35 minutes from Culpeper or Warrenton. We operate a cat shelter and sanctuary for approximately 15 adult cats that range in age from 5 to 12 years of age. We "specialize" in rescuing adult cats that have been abandoned, neglected and often abused. These cats are often shy and timid and in great need of loving attention so that they can eventually find good and loving forever homes. In addition to working with our cats (playing with, brushing, helping with nail trims, ear & eye cleaning, etc.), we also need your help with cleaning their condos and living areas. This includes cleaning and disinfecting their living spaces, their litter boxes, mopping the floor, cleaning windows, windowsills, countertops and walls. Working around our cats will help you get to know them and the cats will become more used to you! ***All volunteers need to start out working with other volunteers. Eventually, if you stick with it, you'll be able to schedule your own days and hours.

Volunteer: Join Rainbow Riding as a Volunteer Horse Leader

Rainbow Therapeutic Riding Center in Haymarket, VA, is a very special place that serves children and adults with physical, developmental, and mental health disabilities from all around northern Virginia.

Each week, approximately 70 students come to us for equine assisted activities, from Tuesday through Saturday, learning how to ride and take care of their horses.

Riders with mental health challenges develop emotional regulation and coping strategies, helping them manage anxiety and stress more effectively; riders with physical disabilities experience increased motor skills, better balance, and coordination through structured riding activities, which help foster greater independence in daily life; and all our students develop increased confidence and resilience as they bond with horses and engage in goal-oriented tasks.

The supportive environment we nurture at Rainbow encourages social interaction, reduces feelings of isolation, and benefits the wider community by fostering inclusivity and better understanding.

Our team of six PATH Intl. Certified Instructors plan and supervise each lesson, but every single session needs the help of one or more volunteers; they are the backbone of our program. Last year, our volunteers dedicated 2,000 hours of time to our equine therapy program.

Our primary volunteer need is for Horse Leaders. Their role is to tack up and prepare our horses for their lesson, lead them during it, and take care of them afterwards. Leaders should be experienced horse people who are able to read a horse’s body language, control their own energy and body language, have good communication and listening skills, and physically be able to walk and/or trot.

Students may also have one, two, or more volunteers acting as side walkers, who support them physically and emotionally dependent on their individual needs. Rainbow students form a bond with their team and it’s beneficial for them to see regular faces, week in, week out. That’s why we ask our volunteers to try to commit to a regular time slot each week, during a day and time that works for them.

We value all our volunteers, whether they come to us for a couple of hours per week, or a couple of afternoons as some do. And our volunteers reap huge rewards seeing their students undergo life changing improvements, learning more about the profound impact of equine assisted therapy, and themselves enjoying the emotional benefits of being around our calming horses.

Rainbow volunteers are hands on members of the team, and also contribute by serving on the all-volunteer board of directors, supporting fundraisers, and help out with other projects. Full training is given and they work closely with Rainbow Instructors and Volunteer Coordinator.

We have a beautiful indoor arena, outdoor arena, miles of trails, and an activity loft, allowing us to support our students whatever the weather!

Email us at volunteercoordinator@rainbowriding.org or fill in our online application here.
