Friends of Columbus Animal Care Services will be handing out pet food through the newly-named Furry Friends Food Bank distribution from 4 to 5:30 p.m. today in the new location of Columbus Municipal Airport, 4770 Ray Boll Blvd. The pet food will be distributed in the parking lot in front of the plane, Charlie 119.
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 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.
Plan to stay in your vehicles and line up for the food. The food will be brought to you in your 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.
The organization will not distribute in active thunder and lightning situations but will if it is simply raining.
