A Port Washington Food Drive for Pets

Pet-care can be costly. But a Port Washington-based organization hopes it can assist those in need of a helping hand this holiday season.

Dan’s Dog Walking and Pet Sitting is joining forces with Rock-Can-Roll, a Jericho-based non-profit organization that helps collect and distribute healthy non-perishable food for the less fortunate.

Donation boxes for pet-related items are being distributed to local vets, groomers, and other small businesses in Port Washington, Manhasset, Roslyn, Great Neck, Glen Cove, Glen Head, Sea Cliff, Old Brookville, Greenvale, Locust Valley and Albertson.

Through Dec. 31, the organization is collecting:

• Wet and dry dog food and wet and dry cat food
• Dog and cat treats
• Pet clothes, beds and toys

To make a contribution to help purchase food, toys and other pet items, visit www.danspetcare.com. Donation pick ups can be arranged by contacting 516-551-1613 and customerservice@danspetcare.com.
