Drive-through pet food pantry on April 24th, helping people and pets in crisis
The Humane Society of Warren County is setting up a drive-through pet food pantry in the parking lot of PaveMint Smokin’ Taphouse on Friday, April 24, from 11am until 1pm.
The Hand in Paw program was established in 2012 to help people and pets in crisis. The goal of the program is to help people feed and care for their animals so that they do not have to surrender them to the shelter. The program allows participants to get free dog or cat food, once a month, for as long as they need help. Funding for emergency medical care is also available on a case-by-case basis. The program is supported through donations from individuals and businesses who are committed to the welfare of the community and their pets.
Executive Director Meghan Bowers, along with Community Outreach Coordinator Sue Wagoner, will be on site distributing food and helping to make people aware of other resources available to them in our community.
Those interested in getting the free pet food simply need to show up and stay in their cars. Food will be loaded into the car by the Humane Society, and all CDC guidelines will be followed.
If you’d like to help, dry dog and cat food donations, as well as other pet supplies, may be donated to the Humane Society of Warren County. Items can be shipped or dropped of at the shelter: 1245 Progress Drive, Front Royal, VA 22630. For more information, please call 540-635-4734.
