Marissa volunteered to help with the pet food drive to continue her dedication to helping animals and their families in need, benefiting the Humane Society. Ever since she held her first pet at one year old, Marissa fell in love with animals. Each of her 12 pets she has had in her life has been a rescue animal. She would have never met them if they were not saved by continued perseverance of the Humane Society. Marissa organized a pet food drive in the past and it was such a success and helped so many people and animals that it was an obvious choice when choosing her service project. The pet food she collected will be distributed within the Humane Society where they need it most and among families who are in need. Marissa plans to continue the drive into next year and the future. Her donation of over 100 pounds of food is just a small way to say thank you to the Humane Society for speaking for those who cannot speak for themselves.
