Week 38 - Rescued Critters Food Drive

Hi Folks,

Cause

This week we donated 162.7 lbs. of pet food and $76.28 in cash and two checks. That translates into 247.5 lbs. of pet food for the week. Since our new average is 124 lbs. per week—from 83 lbs.— to attain our new goal, it appears we are going to crush that one, too. (See below.)

Steve, my neighbor and friend, loves cats and he lives and takes very good care of a number of them. He also takes care of a number of cat charities in town and decided to put our Rescued Critters Food Drive on his list. Besides the volume of food Steve donates each week, I like the exercise I get hefting all those bags from his home to my home and then to PACC on Monday. My doctor says he likes it, too … the hefting. 

Effect

So far this year, our total pet food donation to PACC is 5,192.6 lbs. With 14 weeks to go, we can easily make 3.2 tons or 6,490 lbs. of pet food.

But just think, if another cat or dog lover steps up like Steve, we will achieve a goal that will put the Miles Neighborhood in the record books … and feed so many thousands of rescued dogs and cats.

See you Sunday,

Peter
