    On this episode of Peachjar Extra Credit, Matt visited and spoke with Haylee Blake from Helen Woodward Animal Center to learn how Helen Woodward Animal Center benefits their community by providing educational and therapeutic programs for people, as well as humane care and adoption for homeless animals.

    Helen Woodward Animal Center is a unique, private non-profit organization in San Diego County, CA that has been committed to the philosophy of people helping animals and animals helping people for over 50 years. Their nationally recognized center provides a variety of services that benefit the community through educational and therapeutic programs for people, and humane care and adoption for animals.

    Helen Woodward Animal Center is an organization where “people help animals and animals help people.”

    "Anytime school is out we're going to be running a critter camp, Summer Critter Camp being our largest one, and that's so that we can provide something enriching and engaging for kids when they're out of school," said Haylee Blake from Helen Woodward Animal Center. "They're still getting some education but we're maybe covering topics that aren't going to be as important or covered during their school hours."
