Ongoing - Stark County Humane Society - Stark County Humane Society, 5100 Peach St NE, Louisville, OH 44641 needs volunteers! Volunteers are needed to walk dogs and play with cats. Note this!! If you have never volunteered there yet and you are under 18, a parent needs to sign permission before you volunteer there. Once that is done, they keep those on file and you don’t have to do it again. If you are under 16, you cannot volunteer there without a parent being with you.

Ongoing - House of Loreto Retirement Home - This is an ongoing service opportunity meaning you can visit any day, any time. They do especially need help in the after-school hours serving dinner, 4:30-6:30.

Ongoing - First Christian Church - The RECESS program at First Christian Church in Canton underwent a name change and is now the RESPITE program. The 1st one this year is this Friday, October 6. These will be held on the 1st Friday of each month from now until May. Families with children with disabilities will drop off their kids at the church for a few hours in the evening. These nights are very rare opportunities for their parents to have a night off. Volunteers arrive by 5:30, You will be fed and you will babysit either a child with disabilities or their sibling. If you attend, you need to be able to stay the duration of the event, until 9:00. Because you will likely be assigned a specific buddy, leaving or arriving during the event causes confusion and can leave a child unsupervised. See GC to sign up and if this is your first time then there is also a parent permission form that must be done as well.

See GC for the specifics and for a permission form that has to be filled out the first time you volunteer there.
