Every day low income seniors who receive assistance from Meals on Wheels are faced with the choice to feed themselves or feed their four-legged companions. In response, Meals on Wheels of Fairfield County has developed Food 4 Paws, a pet support program, which provides assistance for seniors in caring for their pets. Funded entirely by donations and grants, Food 4 Paws provides low-income Meals on Wheels' clients with pet food, vet care, grooming, flea and tick treatments, and emergency boarding services. Keeping seniors and their pets happy, health, and together reduces loneliness and improves health and well-being.

Please direct questions regarding the event to Samantha Schmitz at samantha.schmitz@dileyridge.com or (614) 838-7976.

Friends for Life will also be at the Grove City Petsmart.

Support our efforts to improve the lives of animals in Ohio by enjoying a delicious meal at Piada Italian Street Food (Easton Location). When you dine there and show the attached flyer, or mention the Ohio Animal Foundation fundraiser, 30% of your total bill will be donated to OAF.
