Lunch Break and MCSPCA will help feed pets through a new partnership.
A new partnership between the Monmouth County SPCA’s Pet Pantry and Lunch Break will help ease the burden of food scarcity during the COVID-19 crisis.
Lunch Break’s Pantry Choice Program, which has distributed roughly 300 grab-and-go meals a day since March, continues to show a large increase in demand, so the incorporation of pet food and supplies into the program was a seamless addition. The Monmouth County SPCA’s Pet Pantry was established after Super Storm Sandy and has become a critical program of the Monmouth County SPCA, serving hundreds of residents and distributing thousands of pounds of pet food per year to those in need. The merging of the two programs will create a “one-stop shop” for families and their pets.
Both organizations are grateful for the partnership as it benefits families and their beloved pets in Monmouth County and beyond. The donations of pet food will be an ongoing relationship and will ensure that every family in need can provide for themselves and their pets. The Monmouth County SPCA will continue to deliver pet food weekly as Lunch Break offers their services six days per week to the public.
