The LSU preliminary brotherhood donates to the animal shelter, offers volunteer opportunities – The Reveille, the Student Gazette of LSU

PHI Alpha Delta’s LSU’C head holds an animal shelter shelter on Sunday as an affordable way for students to help the Baton Rouge community.

Kennedi Moncreary, English Senior in LSU and PAD President PAD, said she had come up with the idea of ​​leaving a donation bin at LSU library receiving pet toys, blankets, food, food and cleaning products such as soap and plain soap products Multi -pertine cleaning products to give to a local shelter.

The collected items will be donated to an accompanying Animal Alliance after the device ends on Sunday. The famous Batton Rouge shelter takes care of more than 9,000 animals a year and is constantly looking for donations, volunteers, foster families and permanent homes for their animals.

“I love animals, most people love animals, so I have the feeling that it was great to be able to help them,” Moncrey said.

Moncrey said that as students settle in the new semester, not many of them are able to register for weekly shifts at the shelter. Therefore, she thought it was best to have driving, not an actual event.

By Thursday afternoon, they received 15 donations, mainly pet food. The driving was due last week, but because of the snow, he was pushed back and Moncrey said he thought that the organization could not receive as much donations as he had hoped. However, she is confident that she will see more participation next time when students’ schedules have not been interrupted by adverse weather.

If students could not donate this week, Phi Alpha Delta is planned all year long since community events, the next one with the Baton Rouge food bank on February 15, which will soon be available to register. Moncreary encourages anyone who is looking for service hours to participate voluntarily, even if they are not in the fraternity. She shared that she hoped these opportunities will reach the non -member and include them in the organization and their community.

Moncrey says her job is simply to judge what is needed in the Baton Rouge community and in response to gather events that would be useful for students to participate and are easily accessible.

“I’ve always helped my community. I have the feeling that I knew about many public services there that others did not do, “Moncrey said. “As a public service chairman, I can help other people know what’s there.”
