On Thursday, Nov. 5, Last Hope Animal Rescue invites animal lovers to come and learn about the organization and meet current and future volunteers.  There are many opportunities for community members with all backgrounds, experience, and availability.  Volunteers are needed to assist with fundraisers, make items for bake sales, assist at adoption events, open their homes to foster animals, or help coordinate adoptions.

“Last Hope has placed over 600 animals in their forever homes, but now more than ever we need volunteers and supporters,” said Sonia Brandley, founder and president.  “Our organization would not exist without the support of the community.”

The Last Hope Animal Rescue Friendraiser will be held on Thursday, November 5 from 5 – 8pm at the Hampton Inn & Suites (1130 Park Place NE, Cedar Rapids).  Beverages and light snacks will be served.  The event will be casual, with attendees encouraged to stop by for a few minutes whenever they are available.
