Paws & Provisions: A Heartfelt Food Drive for Furry Friends
A Flavorful Affair for Our Four-Legged Pals
Mark your calendars, food lovers and animal advocates! June 21st is set to be a day of giving back, as the Bannock Humane Society rolls out its annual Pet Food Drive. From 10 AM to 5 PM, the charming locale of Ridley’s in Historic Downtown Pocatello will transform into a haven for pet lovers looking to nourish our beloved furry companions.
Why It Matters
Pop quiz: What’s as essential as sourdough bread in a bustling bake shop? That would be quality pet food at our local humane society! This monthly event, held every third Saturday, is not just about donations; it’s about filling hungry bellies, both at the shelter and within the community. Coordinated by the passionate and dedicated Anita Sorensen, the aim is simple yet profound—collect 3,200 pounds of pet food before the holiday season rolls around. Can we do it? Absolutely!
What’s on the Menu?
Here’s where you, dear reader, can spice things up! The food drive welcomes donations of:
- Dry Dog Food: Packed with proteins for those wagging tails.
- Kitten & Puppy Chow: Little munchers need their fuel too!
- Open Pet Food: Dig into those pantry depths—any unused food is welcomed!
Whether you’re a cat whisperer or a dog devotee, each contribution helps fill critical pantries and support both foster families and individuals facing tough times. It’s like a buffet for our furry friends!
The Community Connection
Anita beautifully articulates the mission: “We’re here to assist families who may need a little extra help, providing nourishment for their pets while they navigate challenging times.” Here’s a chance to turn your pantry clean-out into a golden opportunity to help others. Think of it as a culinary adventure—from your kitchen to a pup’s grateful tummy.
Save the Dates!
Not quite ready to donate? Worry not! There’s another chance on July 19th at Ridley’s on Pocatello Creek Road. Make it a habit to join in on this noble cause every month, and soon you’ll find that giving back has its own delightful flavor.
Join the Movement
Food lovers and pet enthusiasts alike, let’s rally together to create a wave of kindness! The joy of sharing nourishment extends beyond our human table—it reaches little paws and whiskers too. Remember, every can, every bag, every scoop, makes a significant difference! So, let’s fill those pantries and bring joy—not just to pets, but to our entire community.
Let’s give where it counts! Join us in this pawsome mission today! 🐾
