School-Required or Court-Ordered Community Service
A minimum of 20 hours is required for individuals wishing to complete their community service with MHHS. Community service will be served with our Empties for Animals team, sorting bottles and cans to help achieve our fundraising goals. For safety and liability reasons, there is no direct contact with the animals. Applying for orientation is not required for community service. All you need to do is fill out a Community Service Application.
If you are under 18 years old and looking for less than 20 hours of community service for school, please refer to our Offsite Opportunities webpage for ideas on how to help out the shelter. If you would like to participate with one of these options that tallies up to the community service hours you require, we can sign off on your community service requirement. Please email our volunteer manager to confirm potential projects.
