Maggie Mae’s Must Do:
Food Pantries are not just for people. Many people who need food also need food for their pets. The Hudson Valley
Pet Food Pantry, Inc. was founded in 2010 to help them. The Pantry provides free pet food to people who cannot
afford to care for their animals. This includes senior citizens, disabled persons, veterans, and those who have lost their jobs. The Pantry’s mission is to keep animals from being abandoned or surrendered to shelters. “We are presently
serving 263 clients each month, feeding 683 animals,” said Susan Katz, founder and president of the Pantry. “Since January, 2013, we’ve distributed nearly 10 tons of pet food.” The facility is located in White Plains. You can help them by making donations or volunteering.
