sharing how our charity has made an impact this season
Introducing our pet pantry
We are so thrilled to introduce our next chapter — My Grandmother’s Pet Pantry
Each season, we will ship pet food directly to the door of 25 seniors to help them offset the rising cost of pet food. Through the generosity of our donors, the program is set to help 100 seniors each year.
My Grandmother’s Pet Pantry is inspired by our founder’s grandmother, Esther. She was a compassionate animal lover who would open her pantry to anyone in need. Her kindness and generosity will be the foundation of this program, which launched on February 20, 2024, her birthday.
