Are you thinking about volunteering? If so, please send VSA your resume, along with an email that tells us what you would like to do and if you have had some experience with companion animals.
If you can’t volunteer your time, you can help by making a donation to the following VSA funds:
Statewide to be used where there is the most need
Statewide Spay & Neuter Fund
Statewide Feral/Homeless Cat Fund
Statewide Emergency Veterinary Assistance Fund
Statewide Emergency Food & Medicine Fund
Statewide Injured/Orphaned Wildlife Fund
Factory Bred Animals/Farm Animals/Work Animals Protection Fund
Providence Fund
Warwick Fund
You can send your donation to: Volunteer Services for Animals PO Box 6263 Providence, RI 02940-6263
There is another important way to donate which is available to VSA supporters who are still in the workforce. You can give through your company's payroll deduction or through the United Way of Rhode Island Workplace Giving Fall Campaign which takes place every year. Many Rhode Island businesses will match your donation. You can also choose VSA when you shop at Amazon. We are registered there to receive donations made from your purchases. 100 percent of your donation is used to help homeless and owned companion animals in need of veterinary treatment, surgeries, and spay/neuter. VSA is an all-volunteer organization. VSA's modest overhead costs to operate the office are paid for by the interest earned on VSA's endowment.
VSA realizes that an important solution to humane issues is continuing education. VSA has created two endowment funds with the Rhode Island Foundation to sustain its humane work. If you wish to contribute to the VSA Humane Education Fund or the VSA Warwick Humane Education Fund you can contact the Rhode Island Foundation. The VSA Treasurer will be happy to talk to you about the endowment funds, bequests or trusts for VSA. Please email the Treasurer at [email protected] if you have an interest in remembering VSA.
