On November 20, 2013, Shine City Project visited the All Friends Animal Sanctuary again, but this time to help another organization: the LasVegan Food Pantry. The pantry is a non-profit organization which helps to provide healthy and nutritious vegan food supplies for individuals and families in Las Vegas. Twice a month on Saturday mornings, All Friends Animal Sanctuary helps to host distribution events for the LasVegan Food Pantry. Shine City’s ten volunteers helped to prepare boxes and grocery bags that each contained various food items such as apples, carrots, potatoes, cucumbers, couscous, and even gluten-free pad thai noodles.
Later that day the volunteer group received a tour around the sanctuary and had the opportunity to feed and get to know the animals in residence better. After the tour they spent the remaining time at the sanctuary helping to clean out the sheep pen. It was a smelly and dirty job, but they wouldn’t mind coming to help out again!
