FOOD DRIVE TO COLLECT DOG AND CAT FOOD FOR PETS OF SENIORS IN NEED

The York County Council on Aging is in need of dog and cat food for the beloved pets of our community's senior citizens in need. Our volunteers tell us that many seniors split their Meals on Wheels lunch with their pets because they can't afford pet food. In the past, Winthrop has held several pet food drives which provided us with plenty of food to send out to our home-bound seniors for their pets. For a lonely senior, their pets are often their only  family, their best friend, and the reason they get up in the morning. When they split their lunch with their pet, neither the senior nor the pet gets proper nutrition. Pet food drives are wonderfully helpful.
