The Grapevine: Helping our Pet Friends, Those Less Fortunate with Pair of Local Food Pantries for Both

By Rosalyn Queen on December 01, 2022 from The Grapevine

Several years ago, the Progressive Women’s Association sent out a questionnaire to the public asking for their input on programs that were needed in the area to assist our local individuals.  One of the programs most listed was a need for a pet pantry to assist individuals with feeding their pets. 
 
The PWA board immediately set up a pet pantry to complement their food pantry.  Donations of pet food and money came in and that welcomed the birth of Peppy’s Pet Pantry. 
 
Hundreds of pounds of cat and dog food have been distributed to local individuals through the pantry.  Betty Waddy, PWA President, met with management at Pet Supplies Plus and they partnered with the PWA in keeping the pantry supplied for our little furry friends.  Pet Supplies Plus continues to be one of the largest donators to the pantry.
 
Speaking of food, the PWA will be preparing free meals for the homeless and Pet Supplies Plus employees will be assisting in the serving of the meals. This will be a community project that they will be involved with.  For information about the project call 304-624-6881.
 
Thanksgiving was a time for us to think about all those things we have to be thankful for.  I hope it prepared you spiritually for the coming season of Christmas.  No matter how many negatives you have in your life, there are always those who are worse off than we are.  As we prepare for this most holy season, I hope you will add a little spirituality in your daily activities.
 
I want to send out birthday wishes to Mike and Marty Queen, Miranda Lang, and Holli and Hunter Queen.  Here’s hoping they all have many, many more in good health.
 
I urge each of you to get in the spirit of the holiday season, to stay safe and healthy and until next week, “Now You Have Heard It Through The Grapevine.”
