Our small shelter as has had an issue getting the public back in the doors since covid. We are severally lacking in fosters/volunteers. We are looking to do some Holiday Events and/or open houses. We are a smaller brick and mortar shelter housing about 30 cats/30 dogs in a mixture of kennel and communal rooms.
I am wondering what ideas others have done for events within the building.
Each event we would like to have some sort of giving tree for the animals ( Easter we were thinking like plastic eggs with colors being different price values). We like to include kids crafts to take or to give to the animals usually kitties. Cookies/Coffee for people who come to the open house. Pup cups for the shelter dogs.
I'm just looking for ways to get people in the building. Maybe we can snag a few more fosters or volunteers, its not really about raising money, just getting the community back in our doors.
Any input or ideas would be amazing!!
Thank you in advance
