Broward Meals on Wheels for Pets Food Drive

Broward Meals on Wheels for Pets Food Drive

November 15th through  December 20th

Hospital Will Match Food Donations Pound for Pound*

WHO/WHAT:
Hollywood Animal Hospital (HAH) is proud to once again join Broward Meals on Wheels (BMOW) for Companion Animals to collect food for pets of homebound seniors throughout Broward County. The success of last year’s food
drive far exceeded our expectation and resulted in a total donation of 4000lbs of pet food.  With the support this year of many of our local purveyors, we are once again able to match donations received.*

Donations of canned and dry food for cats & dogs made from November 15th- December 20, 2014 will be matched by the HAH*.

BMOW delivers pet food once a month to homebound seniors who need assistance taking care of their in-home pets.  Pet food is provided through the generosity of community donations. The need for donations of cat food is in particular demand among BMOW clients.

HOW:
Just stop by with a donation of canned, dry or dehydrated food for cats or dogs.
At the HAH, we believe that giving back to the people that supports us is paramount. Founded in 1947, our commitment is to our community.

Broward Meals on Wheels for Companion Animals started when volunteers began to notice clients sharing their meals with their pets. Senior on a restricted budget can have a difficult time meeting their own needs and often the needs of their companion animals can be neglected. With only the support of volunteers and donation this organization provides delivery of food for these loyal pets once a month to clients of BMOW. For more information visit www.bmow.org or call HAH.

*the HAH will match the first 1500lbs of food donated.
