Be Creative!

Each and every person possesses skills and strengths that they can use. All it takes is a little applied thinking and some creativity with how you can use the skills you already have to make a difference. Combine that with some passion, and you can do wonders by thinking outside the box. . Try organizing one of these creative fundraisers... or add an idea of your own!

• Like to cook? Approach a few stores nearby and ask them if they will sell some of your baked goods in their store, to benefit the local shelter. It wouldn't even cost much... baking supplies, some ribbon, saran wrap, and some printer paper. Wrap the cookies in the saran wrap, tie it with a ribbon. Print out little tags that explain where the profit goes, cut them into squares that can be easily tied onto the ribbon.
• Love to draw? Help your local shelters by drawing some humane education comic books or coloring books to be used in the raising awareness program.
• Love to hold quiz nights or fundraisers? Arrange your event and invite animal supporters, and raise funds to help the needy animals
