Many of our clients have pets who are their only companions at home. When they don’t have pet food, clients have been known to give portions of their meals to them.

Through our Pet Pals program, we can ensure both our clients and their pets remain well nourished and in their homes by delivering packaged dog and cat food to them once a month.
