Many local families struggle to put food on the table, not only for themselves but also for their pets. The generous members at the Key Largo Civic Club conducted a Christmas in July pet food drive to benefit the Upper Keys Humane Society and the SOS (Star of the Sea) Foundation Food Pantry.
The SOS Food Pantry operates out of St. Justin Martyr church and serves 120 to 150 families per week. The pantry is open Mondays between 1:30-5 p.m. Both organizations accept pet food donations year-round. Those who wish to contribute may contact Shy Martin with the Humane Society at 305-766- 3074 or Pamela Niekamp with the food pantry at 248-672-4719.
Donations will go a long way toward helping all our neighbors, the two-legged as well as the four-legged kind.
