Meals On Wheels For Pets Too

After learning that many seniors were feeding portions of their Meals On Wheels meals to their pets, Meals On Wheels Association of America started a new program to also bring pet food for their clients’ pets. Meals On Wheels has teamed with Banfield Pet Hospitals to start a national program—Seasons of Suppers—to collect and distribute donations. Meals On Wheels also created public service announcements that help clarify the need. You can donate at Banfield Pet Hospitals and online at Meals On Wheels (you can specify if you want your donation to go to the pet program).
