Summit County Animal Control is hosting a drive-thru distribution of free pet food and supplies monthly on the last Tuesday of every month, starting from 4 to 6 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 28 at Summit County Animal Control, 250 Opportunity Parkway, Akron.
Last year, the organization created a Community Pet Food Pantry to help residents offset the costs of pet products, especially food and cat litter. The pantry is made possible by Animal Control’s GOODS program, a partnership with Greater Goods Charities that provides pet supplies to distribute to local rescues and pantries. Animal Control is working with Peanut’s Pet Pantry to distribute the supplies. Heavy Duty Dog Cage
Since launching the program, Animal Control has received 115,715 pounds of food, litter and supplies and placed 70,000 pounds back into the community through public events and through donations to local nonprofits, including One of Kind Pets, Maggie’s Mission, Summit County Humane Society, Meals on Wheels, A.R.T, Whispering Acres, Fox Tale Sanctuary and Geauga Mama Dogs and Pups.
