As you’ve seen from some of my previous posts, I’ve been helping to celebrate the Ford Fiesta Movement by following along with their monthly themes. In September, I attempted to cook; in October, you learned how to make your next shopping trip successful; and November was all about dressing for date night. Well, December is focused on social activism, and to celebrate that theme, Ford Fiesta is presenting the second annual What’s Trending Tube-a-thon.
The Tube-a-thon is a live-streamed holiday party featuring huge YouTube stars as well as traditional Hollywood celebrities. Tonight at 6pmPT/9pm ET, viewers can tune in to What’s Trending for two full hours of fundraising, music, comedy, performances and lots of surprises from your favorite online stars. Online viewers can tweet along with the hashtag #Tubeathon or #FiestaMovement, and for every tweet What’s Trending and Fiesta Movement will donate $1 to Covenant House. It’s a fun and easy way to give back this holiday season.
As for me? I’m planning on finding a way to help animals in need and give back to my community in a way that suits me. I’ve always been a huge animal lover (specifically dogs, of course), and am an avid supporter of the ASPCA – my debit card donates to them every time I use it! Luckily, I’ll have access to a Ford Fiesta so I can venture anywhere to make this happen. But I want to know what you think. How should I help my animal friends this season? Should I volunteer at a shelter? Help save mistreated dogs? Let me know your ideas in your comments below and check back in a few weeks when I’ll document the experience right here.

Maybe you could start by collecting towels, blanket & linens for animal shelters (along with food, toys, anything pet related that your network can give). Small, local shelters almost always need volunteers to walk & play with dogs, or just give them some love. And spread the word about how your friends & family can help ~ foster or adopt! :)

i think volunteering at an animal shelter would be an amazing experience. that gets my vote. sometimes it’s frustrating when i can only help charities from afar by sending money- but the ASPCA came up with this cool campaign in which we can all go sign a pledge, donate, spread the word etc and become a “rescuer”! http://www.aspca.org/rescue
thanks for sparking some great ideas amanda!!

I’m actually going out with a few friends this Saturday and passing out blankets, socks, toys, food, treats and water to the San Francisco Homeless pet community and their owners. I wanted to do something to just give back to the less fortunate.

Post authorThat’s great! I love that idea. I may just have to look into that :)
