Upcoming events
There are so many ways you can get involved with Orphans of the Storm. Check out these upcoming events below:
Presentations and shelter tours
We love partnering with our community to provide educational presentations tailored to your audience. Whether yours is a nonprofit gathering, school assembly, or rotary meeting, we have an appropriate presentation to introduce your group to our mission of helping homeless dogs and cats.
We can host you onsite or bring our humane education program to your nonprofit club, school, Scout troop, or faith-based organization.
To schedule your presentation or tour, please contact us at info@orphansofthestorm.org.
Corporate events
We’re fortunate to have so many corporations near our shelter, and we welcome the opportunity to partner with you on your next corporate event. Whether it’s “Casual Friday” or a family day on your campus, we can customize an event to excite and engage your employees. It may be as simple as an information table staffed by knowledgeable volunteers – to a full-blown adoption event during lunch. We can also come to visit your company or town-sponsored charity fair.
To schedule a visit from one of our representatives, please contact us at info@orphansofthestorm.org.
Offsite adoption events
Getting our dogs and cats out into the community to meet potential adopters increases their chances of finding a home, while also helping to boost foot traffic at your event or small business. By incorporating a fundraiser, such as donation drives or a percentage of sales benefiting the shelter, you can engage the community, raise awareness, and provide vital support for our animals.
To schedule an adoption event, please contact us at info@orphansofthestorm.org.
