This Week's 403.3 lbs. is the most pet food ever!
Just count the bags, 5 dog food and 5 cat food.
It’s
almost like clockwork now. Soon after I arrive at PACC on Mondays, Liana and
Shari appear at the front desk to quickly accept and haul our donation away.
They are always excited to get our food because we are the only folks donating
so much to their outreach program.
Their
next important event is the Gem Show which begins January 30th and
runs 18 days through February 16th. It’s Tucson biggest event and
PACC’s, too.
On
October 7, 2018, a few weeks after we launched Rescued Critters Food Drive, we
donated 378 lbs. of food. However that was mostly in cash, because I donated
the money the salvage yard paid me for my old truck.
Today’s
donation was 336.6 lbs. of pet food and $60.00 in two check. The dollars
translate to 66.7 lbs. of food. Together they created that monster number
of 403.3 lbs.
Also
we donated 2 small blankets, 5 regular towels and 3 pill bottles.
To
refresh your memory, one 50 lb. bag of dog food can feed, on average, 100 25
lb. dogs (Westie, Beagle, French Bulldog, Boston Terrier) a single half pound
meal. So we need to keep our averages up to feed many of the dogs of homeless
folks here in Tucson. Those pups probably tip the scales at 50 lbs.
We’re
doing it now and we want to keep on doing it … Right?
See
you Sunday,
