Friends of Columbus Animal Care Services will be handing out pet food through their newly named Furry Friends Food Bank on Thursday from 4 to 5:30 p.m. at Columbus Municipal Airport, 4770 Ray Boll Blvd. The pet food will be distributed in the parking lot in front of the Charlie 119 plane.
The purpose of the pantry is to assist local community members with keeping their pets in their home and out of area shelters. Pet food will be available from the van from from 4 to 5:30 p.m. or until supplies last.
Mixed brands of cat food will be distributed in 4.5 pound bags and dog food in 14.5 pound bags.
Those who attend should stay in their vehicles and line up for the food. The food will be brought to each vehicle.
This program is one of several Friends of Columbus Animal Care Services initiatives designed as “alternatives to intake” at the shelter. Friends of Columbus Animal Care Services is the 501(c)(3) non-profit partner of Columbus Animal Care Services.
There will be no distribution if active thunder or lightning, but the distribution will continue if it is raining.
