Feeding Pets of the Homeless hosts 15th annual Give a Dog a Bone Week
Feeding Pets of the Homeless, a national nonprofit organization based in Carson City, announces the 15th Annual Give a Dog a Bone Week, August 4-10, 2024. This year, we are introducing a new and dynamic fundraising component to our traditional pet food donation drive, allowing supporters to create their own fundraisers and rally their communities to support this vital cause.
“With donations down 14 percent this year and program demands up 50 percent, community support is more crucial than ever,” said Genevieve Frederick, founder and president of Feeding Pets of the Homeless. “Give a Dog a Bone Week is essential for helping us meet these increased needs and ensuring no pet belonging to a person experiencing homelessness goes hungry or without medical care.”
