Volunteer Opportunities
-
Pet Food Bank: Often when a pet parent cannot afford to feed their pet, they will surrender them to a shelter. At some shelters, euthanasia is the sad solution to overcrowding. Our of our goals at No Kill Louisville is keeping pets out of shelters! Our Pet Food Bank provides supplemental pet food/items to qualifying clients on the first Saturday of every month (expect for holidays and extreme weather). Requires 3-4 hours for distribution day.
-
Warehouse Sorting Volunteers help us sort donations at the warehouse various days throughout the month (not open to the public at those times). Lifting up to 30 lbs is typical, however, we work with may volunteers with limitations and can work around those. Requires about 3-20 hours per month depending on the amount of donations received.​
​
-
Administrative Work: We need volunteers to help with administrative work. That includes tasks such as; keep our website current, respond to internet inquiries, answer e-mails, create materials to hand out at events, put up flyers around town, write thank you notes to donors, and perform other related office duties. If you are interested in helping us around the office, please email us at nklouisville@gmail.com. A big part dealing with appointments and required paperwork for those who've requested donations from our Pet Food Bank.​
​
-
Grant Writing and Fundraising: Our organization cannot survive without donations from the public and businesses. If you have experience in the area of grant writing/fundraising and you'd like to save the lives of pets, please reach out to us at nklouisville@gmail.com.

Event Booths: No Kill Louisville hosts event booths at local festivals so we can spread the good word about our hard work. We are looking for volunteers who enjoy working with the public while manning booths at local events. As you will be representing NKL and talking to people about the organization's mission, you need to be knowledgeable about how we can make our community No Kill and be prepared to share that with the general public. Do you think you can handle it? Reach out to nklouisville@gmail.com today!
