PetSmart Hosts Pet Food Drive for Elk Food Bank Services                  

On Saturday, April 26, 2014, PetSmart stores in the greater Sacramento area will be hosting a pet food drive in partnership with Good Day Sacramento for participating Food Banks. This has been made possible thanks to the following sponsors: Blue Buffalo, Bill-Jac, Procter & Gamble and Nutro.

Elk Grove Food Bank Services (EGFBS) will receive donations from the Elk Grove PetSmart location in addition to the south Sacramento and Rancho Cordova stores. PetSmart will be a drop off location for donations and will have a wide selection of pet foods to choose from that can be purchased and donated to benefit EGFBS. 

Like anyone who has been “adopted” by their furry kids, the clients of Elk Grove Food Bank love their pets. “For some of our clients, their pet is their only source of companionship", said Marie Jachino, Executive Director.  “Helping families and especially our seniors and homeless stay together with their pets is crucial.

Please stop by one of three PetSmart locations benefiting EGFBS and donate to this worthy cause.  Your donations will make a difference for pets and pet parents in your community.

Elk Grove Pet Food Drive

The clients of the food bank also love their pets. As more families struggle with the difficult choices of paying the rent or buying food, some are forced to choose between keeping their pet or putting food on the table.

For families that can't afford to feed their pets, the consequences are greater than just an empty stomach. When families must choose what to cut from their grocery lists, pets often suffer the most. Families can be torn apart, simply because there's not emough money to buy pet food. Consequently, many family pets will be surrendered to already overburdened shelters, and many more will be abandoned.

Sometimes a simple bowl of kibble is the force that keeps a family together and saves the lives of the pets they love. Helping families stay together and keep their pets during times of economic hardship is crucial, not only for the family but also for our community. Like humans, animals deserve the basic necessities in life.
