    Just Learned about The Lamb Center and Humane society and that they offer opportunities for volunteering to help the homeless, and volunteering to care for animals that have yet to be adopted.

      Thanks, Brian! How could other EVPP480 actioneers learn more about, or pursue service learning with, these local organizations?
