Accepting donations of small bags of dog & cat food until December 17th! Please donate if you are able! โค๏ธ๐
If you are out and about this weekend, could you remember this monthโs Feeding Hope Pet Food Pantry ~ Christmas Collection? There is still time to donate before this month's pick-up. All pet food donated will be collected and delivered to the local pet food pantry to help families and their pets during this holiday seasonโคโค
Your generous pet food donations have helped MHS' Feeding Hope reach hundreds or even thousands of families. People who contact Michiana Humane Society for help and people visiting the food pantry at Trinity Episcopal Church Michigan City benefit from the dry and canned pet food as well as LaPorte Co Meals on Wheels.
They have 20+ clients who responded "yes" when asked if they could use pet food in addition to the meals they regularly receive. Knowing how important pets are to homebound seniors, we are eager to do our very best to help them.
Until 5:00pm CT on Tuesday, December 17th, we will be collecting smaller, unopened bags of dry kibble and unopened cans of wet food.
The reason that smaller bags are preferred is:
1) We can distribute to that many more families.
2) Many people visiting the food pantry are on foot. When larger bags are donated, we are unable to divide into smaller sized bags as they all need to be labeled and have nutritional information when distributed. We also cannot accept opened bags as we need to be able to guarantee what is actually in the bag.
Your donation of pet food may be what makes a difference in a family needing to surrender their pet or be able to keep them. Finances can be tight year-round. We need your help to support families and their pets within our community.
You may drop items off at Michiana Humane Society or with our partners: Welcott Farm in Galien, MI or if you are shopping at Brandt's Old Fashion Emporium, you can purchase pet food from them, and they will hold it for us until pick-up. Let's work together to make a difference and show kindness and help to share the love. If you can help, please, thank you, and Merry Christmasโค๐๐๐โค
