Paws For Affect was founded by a local Webster Groves student who has a passion for helping shelter animals.

Margot believes that all ages can make a difference. While she understands why they are in place, Margot was often frustrated by the ages limits that shelters have on volunteers, and she left her volunteer sessions feeling like she wasn't doing enough.

Her mom encouraged her to think about how she can make her footprint bigger, by involving other members of her community, and that's how Paws for Affect was born.

Every month, Margot will organize a community pick-up of items that shelters are always in need of. All you have to do is collect the items from your house, and leave them in a box on your doorstep.
