Volunteer With Us
Your help is needed!
A few hours a week/month in your spare time would greatly help.
Please fill in the Volunteer form, and one of our Volunteers will contact you.
Please do not call the shelter. We are short-staffed, and taking care of our lovable cats and kittens is job number one.
Caregivers/Helpers: On weekdays and weekends, choose the days you can help.
Laundry: Washing, drying, and folding linens and rags.
Graphic Designer: Designing and creating visually appealing graphics for our website to enhance the user experience. This can be done from home.
Building maintenance: Our front porch and steps need repairs. Our main entry side stoop and steps are in good condition.
Vet Taxi: on weekdays (must have a flexible schedule)
Donation Pickup Assistance Needed: We sometimes receive large donations from local organizations that require pickup. This often involves heavy lifting and may need a box truck or trailer. If you have access to this equipment or can assist with lifting, please contact us so we can add you to our volunteer list for future pickups. Thank you!
Hopewell Humane Society is an all-volunteer-run organization with almost no paid or full-time staff and we could not continue our work without our amazing, dedicated volunteers. Ranging in age from teens to retirees, we welcome those who are committed to caring for cats. From caregiving to adoptions, fundraising, and administrative support, you can make a real difference and help save the lives of so many cats and kittens each year.
Find us in Hopewell, VA, just minutes from Fort Gregg-Adams (formerly Fort Lee), Colonial Heights, and Enon.
