Our Annual Pet Food Collection Drive Is Underway!

Meals on Wheels of Stark & Wayne Counties has launched our fifth annual pet food collection drive, which solicits donations of pet food from area companies, organizations and individuals. The pet food is then provided to Meals on Wheels clients for their pets.

“People get excited every year when we start our collection drive,” said CEO Teresa Barry. “They love the idea of helping people and their pets during the holidays, and this gives them the perfect opportunity to do both.”

Collection bins are available at:
• Banfield, The Pet Hospital, inside Petsmart on Dressler Rd. in North Canton
• Banfield, The Pet Hospital, inside Petsmart on Lincoln Way East in Massillon
• PBS Animal Health, 2780 Richville Dr. S.E., Massillon

Donations of dog or cat food may also be dropped off Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. at our office building, located at 2363 Nave St. S.E. in Massillon.

We collected more than 14,000 pounds of pet food over the past four years. The pet food drive, which runs through Dec. 31, is part of the “Season of Suppers” campaign, sponsored in part by the Banfield Charitable Trust of Portland, Ore.
