Welcome 2024!
This year will bring A LOT of change within GrandPaws Pantry, and for me personally. In the coming months, I will graduate and begin my college career, and I am eagerly looking forward to exploring new opportunities as I begin my next chapter.
Which means, it is time for GrandPaws Pantry to come to a close. I began GrandPaws Pantry in 2016, when I was 10 years old, because I saw a need in my community and I wanted to do something to help. Since then, so much has happened and I am incredibly proud of the assistance provided to so many seniors and their companion pets. It’s been my honor to advocate on their behalf and bring attention to their needs. This March, GrandPaws Pantry will be celebrating 8 years of an amazing journey and it seems a logical time to end.
Although I plan to retain the GrandPaws Pantry name, (I may have ideas for the future), I have spent the last several months exploring options for continuing assistance for every senior and their pet currently in the Senior Companion Pet Care Program. After careful consideration, I am excited to introduce you to The Arizona Pet Project. Their wonderful team is commitment to keeping pets and people together, and over the next several months, our organizations will be in coordination to make the transition for existing seniors with companion pets needing pet food assistance as seamless as possible. To learn more about The Arizona Pet Project, please visit their website @ www.azpetproject.org
GrandPaws Pantry will no longer accept donations as of Feb 1, allowing time for our monthly donors to discontinue their scheduled donations through PayPal, however, please consider donating to The Arizona Pet Project.
It is difficult to express how much it has meant to me to have had so much support for GrandPaws Pantry all these years. Thank you for caring about a community of people with pets that are very special. ❤️
With gratitude,
Sonya
