Pet food distribution Thursday at airport

Friends of Columbus Animal Care Services (FCACS) will be handing out pet food through its newly named Furry Friends Food Bank distribution on Thursday from 4 to 5:30 p.m. (or until supplies last) 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 Charlie 119 “flying boxcar”.

The purpose of the pantry is to assist local community members with keeping their pets in their home and out of area shelters. Mixed brands of cat food will be distributed in 4.5 pound bags and dog food in 14.5 pound bags.

Attendees should stay in their vehicles and line up on the west side of the driveway for the food, which 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) nonprofit partner of Columbus Animal Care Services.
