In addition to general office duties, volunteers help organize specific events, such as the group's big Walk America in the spring. Parents can bring their younger children with them when they volunteer, but are asked to check first with staff. Volunteers drive their own vehicles and deliver meals to those unable to shop or cook for themselves. 111 Beverly Court, Suite 100. Contact Lise Gelb at 681-6763.
Volunteers can help with office duties such as stuffing envelopes and working with special events.
The camp, staffed by both nurses and a doctor, is held at Camp San Blas. From their home, the Linthacums run a rescue and adoption service for retired racing greyhounds. They often have 60 or more dogs. They don't encourage parents bringing toddlers, says Ken Linthacum, but they have had children as young as 8 come out with their folks. Call the Linthacums the Thursday or Friday before the Saturday you would like to come volunteer.
