Gabby Jack Ranch, Service Companions, how you can help

Thanks Kathy, for the bump!

Mia, thanks...looks like Eileen ansered this far better than I could...

Eileen...this is a great post. It clarifies what people can do to help if they want to get involved... some people have limited resources and time so they might wish to understand how their time, money or item donation might benefit them while they help Gabby Jack Ranch.

We are a 501 (c)(3) corporation, therefore, your donations of money and items are tax deductible on your itemized income tax. But many of you offering services to the organization may not consider how valuable such a service can be when you put it on your resume.

Employers are always interested in hiring people with a commitment to their communities and strong work ethics. Both of these are met, if not exceeded, by volunteer work for a non-profit corporation.

Students can receive class credits and internship opportunities.

Others might want to improve their knowledge and skills. Working on the administration or project management for a non-profit can produce many valuable returns for your investment. Or, you could learn a new dog/human service that would spark your own business venture.

Finally, and most importantly, there is the satisfaction that you get when you hear the stories, see the faces and meet the poeople who are helped by your kind and selfless acts.

Thank you, to the volunteers that have worked so hard to get us to this point. To those who might be considering the possibility, I'd love to chat with you about it!
