Free pet food drive for cats and dogs happening this Saturday in Chilliwack
CHILLIWACK — Assorted businesses and companies have stepped forward to generously support a pet food drive in which free pet food products will be given away this coming weekend in Chilliwack.
The free pet food drive for cats and dogs will happen this Saturday, December 16 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the parking lot of G.W. Graham Secondary, 45955 Thomas Road, in a drive-through format.
There will be enough pet food to accommodate literally hundreds of pets.
Chilliwack resident Jackie Smith says momentum for this pet food drive began when Raylene Mumford from the Chilliwack Free Store program disseminated a message stating she wanted to start a cold season initiative pets. It certainly helped matters when Smith and her daughter, Julie Chadwick, organized a pet food drive for the Yarrow Food Hub and collected 50 bags/cases of pet food in three weeks. Julie Chadwick and Raylene Mumford’s daughter, Chelsea Hiebert, have been spearheading this pet food drive for approximately five weeks and hope to see it succeed.
