Pet Pantries, a 501(c)3 non-profit, tax-exempt organization based in Easton, Maryland recently teamed up with UPS and the Easton Acme and Giant Supermarkets to collect more than 1,200 pounds of pet food. The food and money collected will benefit the three Humane Society organizations in Caroline, Dorchester, and Talbot Counties.
“Pets are hungry all year around, so we work really hard during the Spring and Summer to stockpile enough food to get our three humane organizations through the year,” said Pet Pantries President Barbara Mulready recently. “We have had a very successful Spring and Summer so far, and we are on track to meet our goal of 20,000 pounds of food for the year!
“We are very, very grateful to UPS who provided the trucks at the two donation sites. This was the first time that UPS was so involved in a community event, and they did a marvelous job. Their trucks were easy to spot and getting them filled up was a real impetus for people to donate!”
Mulready also offered profound thanks to Tractor Supply in Easton and in Milford, Delaware for their extremely generous donations of pet food to this event and for the extraordinary lengths they went to to make sure that their donation was delivered on time.
Pet Pantries has a jam-packed calendar for the rest of the year (visit www.petpantries.org to check out the calendar of events). One upcoming exciting event is a raffle of Ravens Box Seats. Only 500 tickets were printed. They are available at the Pet Pantries’ Web site at www.petpantries.org.
