Meals for Companion Pets Founded in 1999, the Meals for Companion Pets Program is a volunteer-driven effort providing pet food to homebound and disabled seniors in Broward County. Research shows that seniors with pets are less likely to exhibit depression, report feelings of loneliness and experience illness. But taking care of a pet – feeding, grooming and veterinary care – can be financially and physically burdensome to seniors. More often than not, a devoted animal lover with limited access to food will feed their hungry pet before they feed themselves. Pet food is provided through the generosity of local donors and grants and is delivered on the third Saturday of each month. Volunteers are always needed on the third Saturday of the month to pack & deliver food.

Pet Food Drive Results

PET FOOD DRIVE RESULTS!

The results are in. This year’s VCA Hollywood Animal Hospital Pet Food Drive was a success! With a total collection of 2100 lbs of food, there is enough food to meet the needs of our pet community for months to come. Through the Meals on Wheels Companion Pet Program, homebound seniors with pets, will receive pet food monthly to ensure that no pet is left hungry.

VCA Hollywood is proud of our partnership with this community to get the word out about the work of this wonderful organization. We are also overwhelmed by the generosity of our community and the fellowship displayed by local groups like Miami Dade College-North who took up this cause and organized their own annex drive to support our collection.

For over 70 years, VCA Hollywood Animal Hospital has put our pet community first and we feel grateful to have an organization of pet loving people driving the volunteer efforts at Meal on Wheels Companion Pet Program.
