Veteran with friend
Marge Ellison
The Pet Companions Club of PebbleCreek is honored to have as its guest speaker on Wednesday, February 3 C. J. Anderson, President and CEO of Empty Bowl Pet Food Pantry.
This 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization has found that people ask for help for their pets, but often not for themselves. Its focus is to provide the victims of disasters and domestic violence, the handicapped, the housebound, the terminally ill and veterans with all types of pet supplies and food to help insure their pets’ health and wellbeing.
Veterans have been a high priority. Empty Bowl Food Pantry joined with the Arizona Veterans Stand Down this past January 28 and 29 to supply hundreds of veterans with a full range of pet supplies and food. They also work closely with Soldiers Best Friend, Dogs on Deployment and Pets for Patriots. They hope to add veterinary services in 2017. For further information on their extensive services, please refer to their website: www.emptybowlpetfoodpantry.org.
All residents, whether club members or not, are invited to attend this interesting and educational presentation on Wednesday, February 3 in Room 100 of the Eagle’s Nest Activities Center at 3:00 p.m. There is no charge.
As always, a box will be available for donations of such items as: pet beds, pet toys, pet food (check expiration dates), crates, cages, leashes, towels, blankets (no sheets or pillow cases please), etc. Those items not used for our own PebbleCreek rescues will be donated to Empty Bowl Pet Food Pantry.
