Pets of the Homeless gives back to Carson City
Carson City's Pets of the Homeless annual food drive received record breaking donations on Monday. This national organization is dedicated to helping the homeless population provide for their pets through annual food and supply donations. The food drive generated 700 more pounds than last year's donations.
This year's food drive donations went to supplying Carson City's Friends In Service Helping pantry, which was empty of pet food until Monday's contribution by Pets of the Homeless. Pets of the Homeless has established more than 300 pet food collection sites across America.
The donations received by Pets of the Homeless are distributed to various homeless shelters, food banks and soup kitchen which then delivers those supplies to their clients.
Pets of the Homeless also uses cash donations to provide veterinary care to pets of the homeless at free wellness clinics. Over the years Pets of the Homeless has been able to provide over 12,000 pets with medical care.
Meanwhile, Chef Don Pepe “The Paella King” of Carson City has announced a fundraiser for Pets of the Homeless.
From now through December 31, the sale of superior olive oils from Portugal and 25-year-old balsamic vinegar from Modena Italy are available for sale at Downtown Coin, 111 West Telegraph Street in Carson City. Downtown Coin is open Tuesday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
All profits from the sales at Downtown Coin will be donated to Pets of the Homeless, a nonprofit organization based in Carson City that is the only national animal organization focused completely on feeding and providing emergency veterinary care to pets belonging to the homeless.
