October 31, 2023 (All day) Throughout October, Carson City's Michael Hohl Motor Company is collecting pet food donations in hopes of filling a pickup truck with food to support Feeding Pets of the Homeless.
The dealership has averaged collecting around 2,000 pounds of pet food each year for Feeding Pets of the Homeless, which is headquartered in Carson City and is the first national nonprofit dedicated to feeding and providing emergency veterinary care to pets of homeless people and low-income families.
The Reno Corvette Club will be hosting a special event, Show N Shine, on October 14th to drop off pet food for this annual pet food drive and hold a competitive showcase. They will have around 30 Corvettes on public display to compete for the “Best in Class” award. The Corvettes will arrive at 9 am and the event ends at 1 pm.
“The goal each year is to fill the pickup truck on display in the Michael Hohl showroom. The public is invited to come to view the Corvettes and donate pet food,” shared Carlos Mejia, event officer for the Reno Corvette Club.
"We are so thankful to Michael Hohl and the Reno Corvette Club for helping us collect pet food donations each year,” said Genevieve Frederick, founder and president of Feeding Pets of the Homeless. “With inflation rising, we have seen a decrease in the amount of pet food donated. Our pet food providers are reaching out to us for help because their supply is low or empty.”
Feeding Pets of the Homeless will be distributing donations to local organizations in Carson City helping people here who need it most.
To donate and help fill the pickup truck, you can bring new and sealed pet food donations of any size to Michael Hohl Chevy Buick GMC Cadillac, located at 3700 S. Carson St. in Carson City.
For information on how to become a donation site or contribute, call Feeding Pets of the Homeless at (775) 841-7463 or visit petsofthehomeless.org.
