COLUMBUS, Ind. – Friends of Columbus Animal Care Services will be handing out free pet food through their newly named Furry Friends Food Bank distribution this Thursday, October 19, in the new location of Columbus Municipal Airport 4770 Ray Boll Blvd. It will be distributed in the parking lot in front of the plane, Charlie 119.
The purpose of the pantry is to assist local community members with keeping their pets in their homes and out of the area shelters. Pet food will be available from 4 to 5:30 p.m. or until supplies last. Mixed brands of cat food will be distributed in 4.5-pound bags and dog food in 14.5-pound bags.
People are asked to stay in their vehicles and line up on the west side of the driveway for the food. The food will be brought to you.
This program is one of several Friends of Columbus Animal Care Services initiatives designed as “alternatives to intake” at the shelter. Friends of Columbus Animal Care Services is the 501(c)(3) non-profit partner of Columbus Animal Care Services.
The free pet food will not be distributed in active thunder and lightning but will be if it is simply raining.
