Come out and support Samantha Guion from the NWR7 High School in Winsted with her senior Capstone Project. She has organized this pet food drive to assist local food pantries. Samantha and hungry pets will greatly appreciate it.

The 2nd annual Pups and Pints car show is only three months away, on Father's Day, June 16th. Last year's show was a huge success, and we expect a bigger turnout this year.
We have been working on the plans for a while now because it will be here soon. We are looking for volunteers and sponsors so get in touch if you can help either way. Stay tuned; more to come.

On December 5th, 2023, the Avon Pet Pantry held its grand opening event with the cutting of the leash. The event was a resounding success, with food distributed to help pets in need and a huge outpouring of donations from the community. The driving force behind this project is the dynamic duo of Christine Pescatore of the town Social Services department and Angela Grano the town Animal Control Officer. The town manager was on hand to cut the leash, and the Farmington Valley press covered the event. This is a huge success on the part of Christine and Angela, and they should be very proud of their accomplishment.
This is Food Banks for Pets first ground-up accomplishment, assisting the town of Avon to go from having no program to assist hungry pets in need to having a full-fledged Pet Pantry. Food Banks for Pets assisted with mentoring and financial support. We are very proud of the accomplishments of Christine and Angela and are honored to have been able to play a part in their success.

Food Banks for Pets had a last-minute opportunity to attend the Torrington Christmas and Holiday Festival this past Saturday, the 4th. It was a great event with lots of vendors and attendance. As usual, Jett stole the show and really drew in the crowd. A great day was had by all.

Food Banks for Pets was invited to join in on the first MiataCon at historic Lime Rock Park in Lakeville, CT, this weekend. There was every kind of Miata you could imagine: old, new, street cars, race cars, and everything in between. As usual, Jett, our four-legged ambassador, stole the show. She greeted people, made friends, and gave out lots of kisses and free fur. We raised $325 for the cause and made a lot of great contacts. Several race teams said they would be interested in adding a Food Banks for Pets decal to their race cars. We had beautiful weather, and there was a large crowd in attendance. Also, the management of Lime Rock wants to work with us to do a fundraiser. We don’t know when or what form it will take, but the offer alone is fantastic. We are very excited about this and will keep you posted as the plan develops. Thank you to Lime Rock for hosting the event and to everyone who made the event a great one, and don’t forget to share this post.
