"We received 5 carts of pet food from Peaceable Kingdom." These are the text messages I love receiving. Community support is what keeps our pet pantry moving fo...rward. When rescues and shelters donate, this shows that they too are doing what is best for dogs, cats and local families. Thank you Peaceable Kingdom Inc. for your generous donation!! #friendshelpingfriend #2021donations #community #petsarefamily See more

We are overwhelmed by the continued generosity of friends and neighbors this year. Scot and Julie Guldin collected food from their family, and also got a Thrive...nt Action team donation to supplement the drive. These acts of kindness help keep dogs and cats with their families, and with full bellies. Thank you Scot, Julie, Thrivent, and everyone that was part of this pet food drive!!! #grateful #friendshelpingfriend #petsarefamily See more

Thank you to everyone who came together to donate, or volunteer during this Holiday season. From all of us at Friend, Inc., we wish you a very Merry Christmas!

Kindness continues with another generous donation from our friends Beth and Jerome. They hosted a pet food drive and delivered 46 bags of dog/cat food, 72 cans ...of cat food, and an assortment of treats, toys, and blankets for our furry friends. Thank you Beth and Jerome for your continued support of the pet pantry! Our pets send many barks and meows your way!! #friendshelpingFriend #kindness #communitysupport #holiday2020 #petsarefamily See more

Today as we started pantry, Saucony Creek Grille and Catering showed up with a large box of sandwiches donated from a customer. What a wonderful idea to support a local business and at the same time give a nice surprise to struggling families. #Lendingahelpinghand #ChristmasSurprise
