September is Hunger Action Month, and the Maryland SPCA is putting its paws on the ground.
The animal shelter is putting food in the bowls of pets that face food insecurity.
In pawstep with them are Weis Markets, PetSmart, and Kimco Realty.
The collaboration made the “Stuff the Bus” donation drive happen Sunday afternoon in front of the Weis Market in Towson.
Folks showed up to donate wet and dry food for cats and dogs.
“The Kibble Connection program serves more than a million meals to hungry pets each year,” says Katie Flory, the Maryland SPCA’s Director of Community Care & Advocacy. “The food we distribute is mainly sourced through donations; we need our community’s help.”
The Kibble Connection was created as a result of volunteer work for the Maryland SPCA and Meals on Wheels of Central Maryland. This hero saw people in need of food sharing their meals from Meals on Wheels with their pets.
Created in 2008, Kibble Connection was born from a need identified by an individual volunteering for the Maryland SPCA and Meals on Wheels of Central Maryland after observing people in need of meal assistance sharing their delivered food with their pets.
