BVSPCA partners with Meals on Wheels

Brandywine Valley SPCA and Modern Maturity Center Team Up to Deliver Pet Food to Meals On Wheels Clients

More than 1,000 pounds of food delivered to 35 Kent County families.

“Now more than ever, it’s imperative that we find as many avenues as possible to reach pet families in need,” said Adam Lamb, BVSPCA CEO. “We’re grateful to the kind folks at Meals On Wheels for recognizing pets as an important part of the families they serve.”

This distribution included a one month supply of food per dog and/or cat in a home, as well as any needed pet supplies, such as leashes or collars. A total of 1,330 pounds of pet food was delivered. This is in addition to the more than five tons of pet food distributed to families in need from the BVSPCA campuses since the start of the pandemic and the four truckloads of pet food sent to other shelters to support their pantries. (The BVSPCA has expanded its standard pet food pantry to be accessible anytime during shelter open hours: Tuesday-Friday 12pm-6pm, Saturday-Sunday 11am-5pm.)
