Annecy. Des Cœurs à Sauver is looking for volunteers for its “gift package” operation
Like every year, the “December gift packages” operation of the Des Cœurs à Sauver association is back! The association is recruiting volunteers for its important annual fundraiser which takes place throughout the month of December at the Bonlieu cultural center in front of the BD Fugue bookstore.
The action takes place from 1uh on December 25, several 2-hour volunteering slots are offered, they are done in pairs. This is a chain of solidarity taking place over a month, 7 days a week, the shop being open on Sundays.
More than 3000 euros expected to treat stray or abandoned animals
This fundraising action is essential for Des Cœurs à Sauver since it allows it to collect nearly €3,000. The money means funding for veterinary care of stray and abandoned animals the following year. Each year, more than 300 animals are rescued, cared for and then adopted thanks to the association.
Since 2012, Des Coeurs à Sauver has taken care of stray or abandoned animals. Twenty volunteers, whose watchwords are their responsiveness, kindness, unconditional love for animals and professionalism, come to the aid of owners in difficulty. The team collects the animals of people hospitalized, placed in a retirement home or deceased. The association supports the litters of unwanted kittens by individuals, provided that the mother is then sterilized by them. She helps the homeless in Annecy to feed and care for their dogs.
The volunteers of the association recall that they have no shelter and entrust the animals to host families spread throughout Haute-Savoie, selected for their seriousness and their love of animals. “We are always looking for new host families or available and conscientious volunteers to participate in the trapping of stray cats or dogs as well as places (garages, cellar, shed, etc.) to be able to store the food for our animals and our equipment. …” confides Noémie Bourdageau, Vice-President
This Christmas operation is an opportunity to carry out a good deed and to try your hand at volunteering by donating 2 hours of your time on the day and time of your choice. And don’t worry, for those new to gift wrapping, a full video training is provided!
