WKYC-Ch. 3 Visits to Prep for Story On Pet Food Drive

Amanda Barren, a news correspondent for NBC affiliate WKYC-Ch. 3 in Cleveland, visited Massillon on Jan. 22 to conduct interviews and videotape footage for a report on this year's record-setting pet food drive at Meals On Wheels of Stark & Wayne Counties.

Amanda took interest in the story following Royal Canin's recent donation of 36 pallets of dog food, which, together with cat food that has been purchased with a grant from the Doris Day Animal Foundation, will enable us to provide food for our clients' pets throughout 2011.

Amanda interviewed CEO Teresa Barry, along with one of our clients and David Cottrill, a volunteer who delivers meals every Friday out of our Massillon facility.

This is the third time in less than a year that a WKYC news crew has visited Meals On Wheels of Stark & Wayne Counties to produce a report for their newscasts. Previous stories featured the garden project at the Stark County jail, and the effect that retirees from the baby boom generation will have on health care and entitlement programs over the next 20 years.

Amanda's report on the pet food drive is scheduled to appear Wednesday, Jan. 26 (note: that's an updated schedule) on Channel 3 News Today, which airs daily from 5 to 7 a.m.
