Pet Pantry
The immediate vision of the Luminary United Methodist Church Pet Pantry is to provide low income families with pet food needed to ensure that their pets can stay in their homes, and continue to live happy and healthy lives. In these hard economic times, the prices of goods and services are steadily increasing, making everyday expenses difficult. Pets have become hidden victims. As many people are being displaced from their homes, pets are sometimes left behind or placed in shelters, or they are disposed of along roadsides to fend for themselves. It is the LUMC Pet Pantry's goal to assist during difficult times to keep a family companion fed and in their homes. This vision can not be accomplished without your help.
How Can You Help?
The next time you do your shopping, pick up an extra bag of dry dog or cat food. Many stores are sunning sales on pet food and this is a good time to pick up that extra bag of food.
The amount of food given for each pet will be of the amount appropriate for the size of the pet. Food donated in large bags will be given out in 5 gallon buckets with lids which the families will be responsible for returning, cleaned and ready to use again. If small bags of food are donated, those will be distributed instead of the buckets.
Food will be stored in Pet Food Storage bins that are rodent and bug resistant.
If you would like to help with this outreach to our community, please consider donations of dry dog and/or cat food, 5 gallon buckets with lids, Pet Food Storage Bins, or a monetary donation so that these supplies can be purchased.
Donations can be dropped off at the church office. Monetary donations can also be placed in the offering plate with Pet Pantry noted in the Memo section.
If you have any questions, please contact Deb Krumnacher in the church office ( 865) 376-7040.
