You've just busted the asses of about 99.8% of the rest of the population of the CONUS.

Keep it up!

Definitely! Actually, a big proportion of our charities that ZS has officially supported are not disaster related, directly.nfa wrote:How about our local animal shelter?
I sometimes go over for an hour or 2 to help feed and walk and clean the dogs waiting/hoping for new homes...it's not disaster related, but it is how I ended up with my Cheagle (Chow/Beagle mix)...

Unfortunately, we can't count monetary donations. The program is focused towards hours spent volunteering. But, your monetary support is appreciated. I'm a big fan of Doctors Without Borders.LilDaemon wrote:I don't know if it counts, but I donated some money to Doctors Without Borders, Komen for the Cure, and the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation a couple of weeks ago. Not as much as I'd have liked, but what I could spare at the time.
I"m also waiting to hear back about volunteering with the Red Cross. I sent in a request for info last week, but I haven't heard anything from the local chapter.
I wasn't counting hours I spent in training, only hours actually helping people.Mrearp wrote:Well.. Figured I would post..
Since 4/8 I am at like 85 hours.
I actually had my LT sign the formHe kinda gave me a weird look. I'm known for being a little whacky in the office and since I am the youngest and only a volunteer
.. I just explained that if your prepared for Zombies your prepared for anything!
In my 85 hours.. I've taught a cert class, trained 30 people in how to do search and rescue, volunteered for a walk, spent a lot of time planning for a large run / walk in our city coming up and spent a bunch of ours in training courses learning how to save the world.. and spent the night at a baseball game talking to citizens about getting prepared.
The most rewarding 30 minutes I spent was when I met these 3 people taking the CERT training that looked at me and said give us all the info you can! They were average joe's that were preparing themselves for when the shtf. I talked about them in another post. I think they will probbally end up here at some point. I see them again on Tuesday for the final so I'll make sure to write the web site down instead of just telling them.
I'll be sending my hours in soonI'm just itchin for a shirt
