Blue Ridge Humane Society’s monthly free pet food distribution will be held on Monday, September 14, from 9am-1pm at the Blue Ridge Humane Society Adoption Center located at 88 Centipede Lane in Hendersonville, NC. Cat and dog food will be distributed first come, first serve, as supplies last to those in need or affected by COVID-19.. Social distancing and protective measures will be taken by all staff and we ask the public to do the same during the drive-thru pick-up. Additional resources and supplies will also be available.
“Blue Ridge Humane is committed to supporting pet owners as part of our Beyond Adoptions programming, ” says Blue Ridge Humane Executive Director Angela Prodrick. “By making pet food more accessible, it is our hope that members of our community will no longer have to worry about feeding their furry family members, especially during these uncertain times.”
Over the last few months, Blue Ridge Humane has hosted distributions on a monthly basis to provide pet food for the community in response to COVID-19. This is in addition to the pet food supplied to local food banks through BRHS’s community outreach programs, where BRHS has increased pet food distribution due to a higher demand for support due to COVID-19.
If a pet owner is in need of food but unable to attend the pick-up, please call or text the BRHS helpline at (828) 393-5832.
