Update- Thank you to everyone who's reached out already. In answering some of the questions: We accept any variety, size or brand of cat or dog food for the food bank. People are so grateful to be able to keep their four legged family members with them and that is our goal always. We want all animals to have their forever homes and be able to stay there, which is the reason we started the food bank. Containers need to be unopened to be donated. We primarily have dry food, but also at times have a variety of canned that is also welcome. Anything donated we find a place and a family in need. If people would like to donate funds to the food bank, they certainly can do that. They can be dropped off at the Shelter or donated through the PayPal account on our website or by mailing them to the Shelter, which is PO Box 336 in Hazleton. Just note that the funds are for the food bank.
This is a service that we started a while back, and we have continued. We, of course,always take care of the food and the needs of the animals that are in our care until they find their forever homes, but do extra fundraisers and accept donations for the food bank. We have been able to support both needs . It is getting a little more difficult to cover, but we're committed to doing our best to serve everyone.
The Shelter has had an extremely busy week with families coming in to get food for their four legged members. We are always more than willing and happy that we can help family stay together. Based however, on the number of people we've had in this week the food bank is pretty well drained at this point. We will look next weekend to reloading as soon as possible. Please be patient with us and we'll do the best we can to get some more supplies to help family stay together. We understand that money is a little tight now for a lot of people, but if a community member or business would like to donate any cat or dog food of any variety for the food bank, it can be dropped off at the Shelter during business hours.
