COLUMBUS, Ind. – Friends of Columbus Animal Care Services (FCACS) will be handing out pet food through their newly named Furry Friends Food Bank distribution on Thursday, March 16, from 4 to 5:30 p.m., in the parking lot at Columbus Municipal Airport, at 4770 Ray Boll Blvd., in front of the plane Charlie 119.
The free pantry helps local residents with keeping their pets in their homes and out of the area shelters.
Mixed brands of cat food will be distributed in 4.5-pound bags and dog food in 14.5-pound bags. Attendees are asked to stay in their vehicles and line up for the food, which will be brought to them. Pet food is available while supplies last.
This program is one of several FCACS initiatives designed as “alternatives to intake” at the shelter.
