How You Can Help & What You Get
In order to remodel the new kitchen/intake room for all incoming dogs at HSTV, we need to purchase new countertops, backsplash, cabinetry, and labor. Providing all of this for HSTV will enable them to take care of the animals more efficiently and have a cleaner space to do so. As you can see in the video above, the current room is small, outdated, and hard to clean. This is why we need at least $2,200 so we can take this burden off of their shoulders. We would use this money to purchase all the materials as well as hire labor to organize the room in the most efficient way possible. If we do not reach our goal the money will still be donated to renovate the intake room. We want to thank you for helping us reach our goal with HSTV. Below is a more detailed description of what you will get:
Welcome! We are a group of four undergraduate students at The University of Tennessee who have partnered with the Humane Society of the Tennessee Valley (HSTV) to raise funds for new countertops, backsplash, and storage in the kitchen/intake room. We started this project in our business administration, which focuses on serving learning. With the business administration class, we decided what organization we would be partnered with and then with our English 255 class we are doing the actual campaign. In English, we formed our group and met with HSTV to discuss what they needed our help with. As a team, we decided that remodeling their kitchen/intake room would be the most beneficial to them since the space is currently old and underutilized.
HSTV is a non-profit organization who serves Knoxville and 22 surrounding counties by taking in dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens from other shelters who may be forced to euthanize them due to space constraints. Their motto is “Spay, Adopt, Keep.” The first step in helping homeless animals is to stop the unnecessary breeding by providing low-cost spay and neuter services. They also want to find good homes for as many animals as possible. Finally, they offer training classes for any animal, whether they have behavioral issues or not. None of these things would be possible without the love, help, and support from people like you.
The Impact
Because your donation will go directly to HSTV, any amount you give will help. We are excited to tell you that once our goal is reached, we will be able to purchase the materials and labor for their intake room. This room is primarily used for the intake of dogs, therefore, each donation will impact every dog brought into HSTV. Each member of the staff is also impacted because they require the use of the room for many other reasons such as storage for food and water dishes, food, and cleaning supplies. With a more up-to-date room, the intake of dogs will move much faster, easier, and cleaner. Each donation is helping the health of every dog that comes through HSTV!
