Salmon Brook Veterinary Hospital (SBVH) will hold its annual pet food drive on Saturday, Dec. 20, from 10 a.m.–3 p.m. Cat and dog food donations will go to aid local food pantries and to organizations dedicated to keeping pets with their owners. This year monetary donations will be sent to Green Chimneys, a nonprofit organization in Brewster, N.Y., that provides animal assisted therapy and educational activities to children with special needs. To learn more about this amazing organization please visit: greenchimneys.org/about-us/
SBVH will collect pet food starting Monday, Nov. 24, and through the month of December. There will be a storage container at the front of the building labeled for pet food donation drop offs. On Dec. 20 there will be a tent set up with a table for pet food drop off and staff to assist you. We are excited for Holy Cows 4H Group to join us again this year on the day of the food drive.
Food can be delivered to SBVH directly from Chewy as well. We would like to thank Horses and Hounds at 15 Mill Pond Drive in Granby for their continued support and for graciously offering to be a collection site for another year.
As in past years, Salmon Brook Veterinary Hospital will match the food donations up to 3,000 pounds. At the request of the food pantries and shelters, preferred donations of dog and cat food are bags of kibble 30 pounds or under and canned food. Further information to follow on our Facebook page.
Come support your neighbors and the pets they love. Thank you for your continued assistance—we truly appreciate it!
