Free Pet Food For Those Struggling In Contra Costa County

By SUSAN C. SCHENA (Patch Staff)

Furry Friends Food Relief Program of Contra Costa County, an outreach organization that assists financially struggling pet-owning families and the homeless with dog and cat supplies, will be at the regional shelter July 26 distributing dog and cat food to those in need.

The Contra Costa County Animal Shelter is at 4800 Imhoff Place in Martinez.

The group will be on site from 10 a.m. to noon.

Those interested must submit an APPLICATION FOR FOOD.

The FOOD PROGRAM doesn’t require any income guidelines; if you are in need, the workers will take your word for it. Your animals do not have to be fixed prior to coming into the program. However, they do have to be altered within three months of being in the program and receiving food, according to the group. Fill out the application on line ahead of time or at the distribution.
