Pet Food Pantry
Seniors often share what little food they have with their pets

Cadet Scout Bailey of Dog Scout Troop 208 will help bring food to pets in need.

No one should have to choose between feeding herself and feeding her dog. Sadly, volunteers with the mobile food pantry Meals On Wheels discovered that many elderly and disabled clients were sharing their hot meals with their pets. Dog Scout Troop 208 [4] of North Aurora, Ill., teamed up with its local Pet Supplies Plus [5] to hold a "Meals for Seniors Pet Food Drive" from November 27-December 15. All food and monetary donations will go toward pre-filled gift bags, which will be distributed by Meals On Wheels to seniors with pets. To participate or start a pet food drive in your area, contact your local Meals On Wheels [6] and/or Dog Scouts [7] chapters.
