Food for Peoples' Pets Program
I. The Program
- The Hermitage Cat Shelter is setting up a food program for needy people with pets
- The Hermitage will be working with Tucson area pantries, homeless shelters, animal shelters, etc., for food distribution.
II. The Mission
- To help people and their pets together by eliminating one of the financial impediments to proper pet care
- The goal is to have this be an on-going program
III. The Process
- The Shelter and Bashas' food stores will be drop off points for the community to leave food donations. The Hermitage will only be a drop off site, not a pick up site for recipients
- The community will be asked to bring unopened, in-date cans and bags of cat and dog food to the shelter
- Food will be distributed from The Hermitage to the pantries by volunteers.
- The pantries will distribute pet food along with people food.
IV. How You Can Help
- We need volunteers to pick up & deliver food to pantries; for information call: 571-7839
- Donate in-date dog & cat food at Bashas' or The Hermitage Cat Shelter
