Food Bank, Pet Resource Center serve more than 400 pets

The Central Texas Food Bank and Hays County Pet Resource Center hosted their third drive-up food distribution for people and pets at McCormick Middle School in Buda. The event was open to anyone in Hays County and served over 150 families.

'The attendance at these events showcases the need for strong community programs and partnerships with human services organizations within Hays County,” said Lee Ann Shenefiel, Hays County Pet Resource Center Director and Executive Advisor. “We want to continue providing these opportunities to ensure both people and pets have access to resources to keep their pets out of the shelter system.”

Pet supplies for cats and dogs were provided, as well as resource guide flyers that included information for spay/ neuter clinics, behavior support and other lowcost pet services. The Hays County Pet Resource Center estimates that it distributed supplies to 275 dogs and 138 cats.

As a part of this year’s distribution events to date, the Hays PRC has provided food for over 500 families and more than 1,100 pets combined. The next people and pet food distribution event will be held at McCormick Middle School in Buda on Saturday, Dec. 28.

This event was made possible through the collaboration between Central Texas Food Bank, Hays County Pet Resource Center and Austin Pets Alive!.
