March eNews: Pet Food Bank update, Tuxes and more

Updates from Seattle Humane      March 2019 eNews Thank you, Pet Food Bank Heroes!   Did you hear? The snow hit our Pet Food Bank hard in February, but thanks to all of you, it was a short-lived scare. Within 24 hours of sharing our shortage online, hundreds of boxes and thousands of pounds of food began to arrive from our dedicated supporters. We are stunned by the number of deliveries last week and all through the weekend. Our Pet Food Bank is now filled to the brim and our staff and volunteers are busy distributing much-needed food and supplies to more than 2,000 Pet Food Bank clients. Curious how to help now? Making a cash contribution at this time will help us reorder supplies when stock runs low again. We get discounts when we buy in bulk!
