Tricia Brown
2001 Youth Volunteer of the Year

Tricia Brown was named the 2001 Youth Volunteer of the Year and presented with a T-shirt and certificate of appreciation at the HHHS annual meeting in May.

Tricia just completed the eighth grade at Logan Junior High and volunteered at the shelter nearly every day after school and on weekends. Since October, she has contributed more than 400 hours of volunteer service to Helping Hands.

She grooms, bathes and socializes dogs and puppies to make them more adoptable and spends extra time comforting and playing with scared or shy dogs. She even fostered a sick dog at her home while nursing it back to health so it could be adopted.

Tricia provides additional support in the office by performing such tasks as photocopying, filing, answering phones and stuffing envelopes for mailings. She lends an extra hand when customer service is short staffed. Tricia has been instrumental in recruiting new volunteers and often spends time training them. She has also assisted with many mobile adoption events.

The love and devotion Tricia shows each day for our community’s abandoned animals deserves recognition. She is truly a “helping hand” in our community.
