Food Banks in desperate need of Pet Food
Via contacts I have at animal shelters around the country I've been hearing more and more that people affected by this current economic downturn are being forced to surrender their pets due to the fact that they can't afford to feed them and food banks around the country are now running incredibly low on their pet food reserves. As anyone who has/loves pets knows, our animals are a large part of our family and the idea of having to give them up is to a shelter (not always a no-kill shelter) is heartbreaking.
I'd love to encourage those of you out there who can afford it to think about making a donation (either monetary or product donation) to your local food banks to help provide pet food to our neighbors in need. Not only will this help keep those pets in their loving families but it will also help keep animals out of our already overcrowded shelters. At the very least, think of the karma points...
How to help:
1. Quick google search to find your local food bank and determine if they take pet food
2. Either make a monetary donation (can often be easily done online)
or
3. Next time you're picking up pet food for your own animal consider picking up an extra bag or two to donate. You can often drop these donations off in person or many food banks have drop off stations at local supermarkets so you won't necessarily even have to go out of your way
4. Go home and cuddle with your pet
For what it's worth, Petit Four Legs is working with one of the local animal shelters to try and help raise awareness and increase donations to food banks through a variety of means. On a more personal level, my family is providing a supply of pet food to our local food bank and are trying to encourage our friends and neighbors to do the same. I hope you will consider joining us if you are able.
