I think that these Pet Food Banks are wonderful and very effective! Animals are in just as much need as humans are today! I thank you to all of the people who are making an effort to make this world a better place for all! <3 Nina

I am a pet rescue going for my non profit status and I am going to try to start a pet food bank in my community. There are a lot of people out there who need help with feeding their pets. I think it is a great thing!
