thanks to the person who posted about volunteering at your local
shelter - also, call you shelter and ask them what they need - it might
be free stuff that you have around the house.  my local shelter always
needs newspapers for cage liners so I collect them from the local
library and newspaper office.
 
so think about not only volunteering but providing needed supplies.  it
might just be free!
