Pet Food Program
Our pet food program calls attention to the importance of pets to the well-being of homebound older adults. Helping keep these companion pets – dear friends of our participants – well fed, healthy, and part of the family for as long as possible is the motivating factor behind this program. This program began in 2008 with a $1,000 grant from the Season of Suppers campaign. Today, it continues with funding through grants from Meals on Wheels America and community support.
