Volunteer: Help Keep Pets and Families Together - Beesley Pet Outreach

For many families in our community, pet food assistance is the difference between keeping a beloved companion and facing the heartbreaking decision to surrender them. At Beesley Animal Foundation, we believe no one should have to choose between feeding themselves and feeding their pet. From August 2016 to January 2026, we’ve distributed over 52,000 pounds of cat and dog food to families in need — including 8,600+ pounds in 2025 alone.

And the need continues to grow. Your support of our Outreach Program helps keep pets healthy, reduces shelter surrenders, and ensures families can stay together during tough times. 

The need is constant, and our shelves empty quickly. Supporting our wish list directly helps us keep pets healthy and families together.

Volunteer: Be a Voice for a Child in Bedford County

Who We Are

CASA — Court Appointed Special Advocates — is a nonprofit organization operating across the state of Tennessee, with hundreds of dedicated volunteers. Our mission is to advocate for children who have been removed from their homes due to abuse or neglect, ensuring their voices are heard in the court system.

As the CASA Supervisor for Bedford County, I can tell you firsthand: the need in our community is real, it is urgent, and it is growing. DCS caseworkers are overwhelmed, and the children navigating the court system deserve someone in their corner who is focused entirely on their best interest.

The Need in Bedford County

Every unassigned case is a child without an advocate. We are asking our community to step up and help change that.

What Does a CASA Volunteer Do?

Once trained and assigned, you will be matched with a case involving one or more children currently in DCS custody in Bedford County. Your role is to:

1.     Make contact with the child or children at least once per month.

2.     Form an independent, unbiased opinion on what is truly in that child's best interest.

3.     Document your findings and share them with the CASA supervisor, who can bring them to court in a formal report (you will be trained on this).

4.     Optionally attend court hearings — but this is not required. The CASA supervisor is present at Bedford County court every Monday and can represent your findings.

This role is flexible. You work on your own schedule and your own time — this is something you can do alongside your existing commitments.

Volunteer Requirements

To become a CASA volunteer, you must:

5.     Be 21 years of age or older

6.     Pass a background check and drug screening

7.     Complete an in-person interview and application

8.     Complete 30+ hours of online training

9.     Attend a full-day, in-office training session to complete certification

10.Pass a reference check before being assigned a case

We are looking for volunteers who can prepare  recently vacated shelter rooms in our women's shelter. This involves removing left-behind items and thoroughly cleaning all furniture.

We anticipate each room will take about 2 hours.

We currently have 2 rooms that need to be prepared as soon as possible so that we can welcome in new women and children who are in need of shelter.

Female volunteers are preferred since this is a women's shelter that serves domestic violence survivors.

This is a flexible opportunity. Volunteers MUST email Tracy Weber to schedule the time day/times they'd like to come in. Email: tracy.weber@uss.salvationarmy.org.

Volunteer: Food Donation Pick-ups for Salvation Army Emergency Food Pantry

Our emergency food pantry is partially stocked with donations from local grocery stores. We are required to pick-up those donations on an ongoing basis. We are seeking individuals to pick up food donations from local grocery stores.

We currently have two dedicated volunteers for this project who are taking some time off for the summer, so we need your help! 

Days and Times:

We have pick-ups at locations on North Broadway and near the university on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Pick-ups occur in the mornings sometime between 9:30 am and noon. Typically the whole process from arrival to departure takes about 1 1/2 hours., so the start time is somewhat flexible. Volunteers may choose any one of these days or multiple days per week.

We are seeking volunteers who can be here at least one morning per week, although we know that sometimes there will be changes to a regular schedule.

We also need substitute drivers who can fill in when our regular drivers aren't available.

Background Checks:

Note that volunteers will drive Salvation Army vehicles for the pick-ups (either a mini-van or a full-size pick-up truck). For that reason, all volunteers for this project must be background checked and we must pull a driving record. 

Please contact Tracy Weber directly to discuss this meaningful volunteer opportunity!
