Miles Neighborhood
First Anniversary PACC Donation
3,783.5 Lbs. of Pet Food + $3969.46 Cash =
$8,194.0 Lbs.
That's 4.1 Tons of Pet Food, Folks!
This
is how it all happened.
First Donation to
PACC - September 9, 2018
First Goal – 4,333.3 lbs. of pet food,
based on 75 neighbors donating $1.00 per week x 52 weeks =
$3,900.00. With Pima Animal Care Center’s $0.90 per pound purchasing
power, $3,900.00 turns into 4,333.3 lbs. of pet food or 2.2 tons.
Second Goal – By May, we beat our goal and
set 6,490 lbs. or 3.2 tons as our next challenge.
52nd Donation - This
week we donated 234.3 lbs. of pet food and $179.54 in cash and three checks. We
charged over the goal line thanks to my friends Steve, Christina, Lee and John
who gave just a little bit more for the cause. Everyone else did what they do
best, support Rescued Critters Sunday after Sunday without skipping a beat.
If you are wondering how many pups 8,194 lbs. of food can feed,
consider this. It is recommended that a 20 - 25 lb. dog eat one cup (8 oz.) of
kibble per day. So, we fed 16,388 dogs one meal. If you are talking 50 lb.
dogs, the number of meals would be in the 8,000 range. Cats? 32,000 meals, maybe.
Now, let’s see how many meals we can serve next year. Think 10,000
lbs. of pet food is a good place to start?
See you Sunday,
Peter
