The Baltimore Humane Society needs help from the community. The shelter lost power Monday afternoon, and has since lost its backup power and internal phone system. The shelter needs volunteers to help feed and clean the animals, and is asking community members willing to do some laundry to pick up a few loads from the shelter, which is located on Nicodemus Road.
