Host a Donation Drive 
ReTails Thrift Shop is always in need of gently used items to sell in the shop. 100% of the net profits from the store goes back to AnimalKind and our life saving programs. A donation drive is a great activity for the entire family, or groups. Volunteers can plan their entire event, from setting a time and drop-off date, to creating flyers and advertising. Your event could even be featured on our blog or website! Check out our Donation Drive Toolkit.
Special Projects and Professional Skills
We have a wide range of professional needs. Every hour of pro-bono consulting results in saved money that can then go towards saving cats and dogs.
- If you have skills in writing and journalism we could use your help in writing press releases and posting on social media.
- Marketing professionals are a great need for us at AnimalKind. Marketers are needed for creating marketing plans, graphics, and advertisements.
- Carpentry and/or construction volunteers are needed frequently at ReTails Thrift Shop.
- Do you love communicating through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and more? You could get to spend time on your favorite sites while helping to save the lives of cats and dogs!
- AnimalKind would love to have a video to not only inform about our mission and programs, but to educate on the pet overpopulation problem and euthanasia in NC. Skilled videographers are needed to help with this project.
