Daffy's Pet Soup Kitchen Case Study

Improved Essays
At Daffy’s Pet Soup Kitchen I helped organize a bin of donated outfits for pets, went through expired dog and cat food, and organized the back shelves. During the last hour I spent the rest of my time passing out flyers at the Kroger up the street to get more awareness to their organization and let them know about their new location.

2. Please describe how many people are involved and how many do you help (the scale of the service).

There are a lot of people that are involved in the organization like the local police office, girl scouts, pet smart, Kroger and more. That helps pass out animal food to those in need and donate food to the organization. They also have other programs in effect aside from Daffy’s Pet Soup Kitchen like the backyard sanctuary which traps feral cats for spray/ neuter and vaccines to manage the population of cats, Daffy’s P.A.S.T which helps family take care of there pets in case of a natural disaster, and daisy’s dog house which builds dog kennels and housing at women shelters so they can bring there dogs with them.

3. What are the biggest and most consistent obstacles you face in performing your service?

I learned that it’s not easy to get a non-profit organization known and there’s a lot of work behind the seen to keep it going that people may not realize. The Organizer Coordinator has to get in a contact with a lot of different company’s to try to get donations and sponsorships with them. As well as figuring out ways to let people know about there organizations, making flyers, and setting up fundraisers and making more programs like a feline therapy center. The main activities that I was involved in was helping out at the warehouse and helping them get organized with all the pet

While I did this I made new friends and grew as a person as well as in my faith. I probably spent about 8 or more of my service hours volunteering for Feed My Starving Children. Before when I was younger, I would go in because my older sister needed service hours and scoop some veggies and powder into a funnel for an hour and a half. Then after the session my sister would have me walk up to the counter and ask for a slip of paper with the service hours on it, so she give them to her school’s counselor and get the hours out of the way faster.…
