🐱 Just hanging in there... and making a difference! 🐾

July was a little quieter than usual with one cancelled pantry day, but we still helped 192 Friend, Inc. Community Services families, including 343 cats, 176 dogs, 3 geckos, and 1 bunny.

Thank you for helping us continue to support pets and the people who love them. We couldn't do it without this amazing community.

Thank you to the generous donor for dropping off 8 large bags of Freshpet dog food for our Pet Food Pantry! ❤️🐾

We've been running low on wet food, so this donation couldn't have come at a better time. It will help us get through the month as we prepare for our move to Friend, Inc. Community Services new location.

Every donation, big or small, helps us keep pets fed and with the families who love them. We're so grateful for the kindness and support of our community. Thank you for making a difference!

🐾 Community is stronger when we work together. ❤️

At the Friend, Inc. Pet Food Pantry, our mission has always been about keeping pets fed and with the Friend, Inc. Community Services families who love them. But we also know that sometimes the need goes beyond pet food.

That's why we're excited to introduce you to The Chopper Foundation! Their mission is to help families facing unexpected veterinary expenses, providing assistance when a pet needs medical care and finances become a barrier.

Together, organizations like ours can help bridge the gaps - whether it's providing pet food, helping with emergency veterinary care, or connecting families with additional resources. We believe that no one should have to face these challenges alone.

If you or someone you know could benefit from The Chopper Foundation's services, we encourage you to learn more about the amazing work they're doing. And if you're looking for a way to make a difference, please consider supporting their mission through a donation, volunteering, or simply sharing their page.

We're grateful for the opportunity to build relationships with organizations that share our commitment to keeping pets healthy, families together, and our community strong.

Please join us in welcoming The Chopper Foundation and help us spread the word!

Thank you to two generous individuals for their recent donations of pet food and treats! 🐾

We're so grateful for every bag, box and can that comes through our doors. Whether it's one treat or a carload of supplies, it all helps us continue our mission of keeping pets fed and with the people who love them.

Every single donation makes a difference and means a little less worry for our Friend, Inc. Community Services families.

Thank you for believing in our mission and helping us care for the furry members of our community.
