Let's Roll is currently focused on one immediate and vital project, the rescue of lost and abandoned animals still roaming the streets and locked in houses in New Orleans.
There is URGENT NEED to rescue these pets, and there are only a few more weeks left before the effort will be ended as the city begins to re-populate and the restoration process begins. At that point, the heroic volunteers will no longer have safe or ample access to the city streets where they are now able to drive through in search of stray pets.
We are supporting the efforts of the Animal Rescue New Orleans organization headed by Jane Garrison. This is a highly effective, efficient, and well-organized group. Because of that, we know that every donation be it, cash, supplies, time or services will be utilized to their maximum benefit.
The following is a list of opportunites for you to help. There is something for everyone, so please review it and plug in right now.
When you find something you would like to do, please immediately contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Debby Verville at Debby@livewire.fm for orientation and further instructions, support, and information.
