Week 77 - Rescued Critters Food Drive

Hi Folks,

“Stand Down”

Liana Moss, Community Outreach Specialist rolls our

284 pound pet food donation into PACC on Monday. 

Troops in a state of readiness are told to stand down when there is “a temporary cessation of offensive actions; cease-fire; truce: a stand-down for the Christmas holidays. a work stoppage or layoff.” In other words, it’s a much needed break for food and rest in a safe place.

Many charitable groups such as PACC use the term stand down to provide special services to veterans, particularly the homeless.

On Wednesday, February 19^th, I got an email from Shari Mollencopf at PACC updating us on their Homeless Vet outreach program.

“Thank you so much for the donation. On March 11 through the 13th we will be handing out food to homeless vets so it differently will be put to good use.

The Stand Down for Vets will be at the Grand Luxe hotel on Grant if you would like to drop by and see us in action. The event is from 10 to 2 each day. 

Just a thought, we have a great deal of cat food but dog food is what we use the most of. If it's possible can you stop the cat food for a while and just do dog food.

Thank you.

Shari”

Although the work is quite serious at PACC they still

have time for fun and smiles. Liana is pretending to 

cross the shadow finish line to win the race to feed

the pets of the homeless vets. 

At Shari’s request we donated mostly dog food this week. We will continue to do so until told otherwise.

This week’s donation was 284.2 lbs. of pet food and $25.00 in checks. In addition, there were 2 Bully treat bags, 2 roll bags, 4 small diapers, 5 absorbent pads and 5 pill bottles. As an aside, notice the blooming African Daisies of the left. That’s a good thing, too.

See you Sunday,

Peter
