Looking for a volunteer opportunity around the holidays? Have we got a special one for you.

The San Francisco SPCA is looking for volunteers to help monitor the puppies and kittens that play in the Macy’s store windows this holiday season.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of Holiday Windows, which over the past three decades have helped more than 8,800 animals find new homes.

The Holiday Windows will be unveiled to the public at 5 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 18, at the corner of Stockton and O’Farrell streets.
