History
Our pet food pantry was first opened in November, 2010, in response to the weakened economy. We initially collected 5 tons of dry pet food, over 4,000 cans of canned food, and over 500 boxes of dog and cat treats. Despite the large volume of donations, all of the food was quickly dispensed. We are currently supplying food for hundreds of dogs and cats each month, and the need for donations continues to grow. |
