Pet Soup - HSPCA launches Food Bank for Pets

No doubt these are troubling financial times for many Americans. Between Wall Street woes and job cuts, many families are having difficulty even putting food on their tables. Unfortunately, these difficult times are filtering down to our 4 legged friends as well. Many people are abandoning their pets and animal shelter intakes are reaching their maximum capacity across the country.
In order to address this problem in South Carolina, the Humane Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals teamed up with the Harvest Hope Food Bank to initiate a food bank for pets - called Pet Soup! As a result of this new program, clients seeking services and resources from Harvest Hope can also pick up food for their pets. We think this is a wonderful idea but they need our help! If you can donate pet food, either dry or canned or perhaps make a donation, we know they will put it to good use. To read more about the program and find out where to deliver your donation, see their site: http://tinyurl.com/4d8ngl
We hope to see more programs such as this initiated in every state.
