Cat Food Donation Drive-Thru
Mon, April 10 - Sat, April 15
FOR PETS OF LOCAL MEALS ON WHEELS CLIENTS
|
The April cat food drive is held in memory of Sandra βSandyβ Must, who passed away in March. Sandy and her husband Gary helped shape what is now known as SourcePointβs Just for Paws program. In 2010, they began redirecting excess pet food donations from the Humane Society to SourcePoint, where they volunteered for Meals on Wheels. The Musts would repackage pet food into smaller portions and deliver it to the pet owners on their route. Other Meals on Wheels volunteers quickly followed suit.
Today, pet food donations are received from local businesses, partner organizations, and individuals. Volunteers work monthly to repackage the pet food, which is delivered to clients on a weekly basis. In February, 762 pounds of pet food were delivered to 63 Meals on Wheels clients.
|
|
Donors with unopened dry or wet cat food may drive through the Meals on Wheels portico on the south side of the building to drop off food Mon - Fri from noon to 4 p.m., or Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon.
ο»ΏDonors may also drop off food inside the main lobby during regular business hours.
