Help feed hungry Pets this holiday season

As we gear up for the holiday season, you can help feed the Pets of homebound seniors who are in need. Season of Suppers, now in its fourth year, was created with the realization that many seniors were sharing their once-daily delivered meal from Meals On Wheels Association of America (MOWAA) with their Pets, compromising the nutrition of both.

Banfield and its charitable arm, the Banfield Charitable Trust (BCT), partnered with MOWAA in 2006 to create the Season of Suppers campaign to fight senior and Pet hunger. In 2008, the campaign raised more than $42,000 and countless bags of food. The BCT is hoping to double monetary and food donations this year to fund or start up new Pet feeding programs for a record number of Pets.

From Nov. 1 until Dec. 31, more than 750 Banfield Pet hospitals will collect Pet food and monetary donations across the country. One hundred percent of the money and food collected will help local MOWAA programs not only feed local Pets, but also start up or sustain local Pet feeding programs.

To offer your support, you can donate Pet food and/or monetary gifts at any Banfield location, or contribute online at www.BCTSOS.org by clicking the “donate now” button. A donation of $30 will help Meals on Wheels programs feed one pet for an entire month.
