RunFurShelter &The Salvation Army to Host 5th Annual Race to Help Homebound Seniors Feed Their Pets
RunFurShelter, a 501© 3(nonprofit) has teamed up with The Salvation Army Golden Diners to hold their annual 5/10K race on Sunday, May 31
When The Salvation Army reported that homebound seniors enrolled in their Golden Diners Senior Nutrition Program were feeding their pets their own daily home-delivered meals because they were having difficulty affording pet food, RunFurShelter stepped in to help. Proceeds from the race will go toward the purchase of dog and cat food and veterinary costs for the pets of these seniors. Providing them with pet food will enable Salvation Army seniors to keep their furry companions, which is key to combating loneliness and depression in the elderly.
RunFurShelter raised more than $60,000 to help area animals in need.
