Help send personal words of thanks to all those who donate time, money, and talents to the work of our organization. Mission Animal Hospital wants all donors to know just how much their donations impact the work we do. Gratitude ambassadors will call donors to say a personal thank you. Donations come to our organization in all shapes and sizes. No donation is too small. It is important that donors know every donation counts.

This volunteer opportunity is remote and flexible! Shifts can be as short as 30-60 minutes.

Responsibilities:

• As a Gratitude Ambassador, you will be given donor contact information. You would call and share a short message of thanks prepared for you by the Volunteer Manager.

You can help make our events successful! Mission Animal Hospital hosts two flagship events each year: our fundraising gala, Raise the Woof, and a community event, Mission Paw-looza.

At each of these events, we look for volunteers to help set up prior to the event, help staff activities during the event, and tear down and clean up following the event. Volunteers receive a free ticket or registration to the event!

If you are interested in volunteering at either of these events, please contact the volunteer manager with your interest at volunteers@missionah.org.
