The Central Texas Food Bank (CTFB) and Hays County Pet Resource Center (Hays PRC) will host a driveup food distribution for people and pets on Saturday, Sept. 28, from 9:30 to 11 a.m. at McCormick Middle School in Buda. The event is open to all Hays County residents, and pets do not need to be present to receive pet food.
Pet food for cats and dogs will be distributed along with the usual food provided. Assistance in Spanish will be available. This is the third pet food distribution event in Buda. In May, CTFB and Hays PRC served more than 400 pets in need of food assistance.
'Our first two distribution events provided pet food for a combined 429 dogs and 334 cats,” said Lee Ann Shenefiel, director of the Hays County Pet Resource Center. “These events are a lifesaver for many families who may not have access to affordable pet food. We look forward to continuing to provide this service to the Hays County community.”
'Together, we’re nourishing our community— providing not only meals for families but also for their beloved pets,' said Sari Vatske, president and CEO of the Central Texas Food Bank. 'It's more than just food; it’s about fostering hope and compassion for every member of the family, human and animal alike. Central Texas Food Bank is proud to partner with the Hays County Pet Resource Center for our third distribution, and we look forward to continuing to work together to help our neighbors thrive.'
Bilingual volunteers are needed to assist with setup, greeting attendees, distributing food, gathering data, and teardown from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Sept. 28. If interested in volunteering, please contact haysinfo@ austinpetsalive. org. McCormick Middle School is located at 5700 Dacy Lane in Buda.
