Bethel Baptist Church partners in PET program
William Watson, RVSPCA executive director, and RVSCPA employees William Green and Nathan Miller assist Ann Richards of Manna Ministries in unloading food donated for the PET program.
Bethel Baptist Church's food pantry has become the third partner in the Roanoke Valley SPCA's Pets Eat Too program.
Bethel's pantry joins Manna Ministries and the Local Office on Aging in distributing donated cat and dog food to elderly and low-income families in our area. The donated food, collected for the RVSPCA by retailers including Ukrops on Franklin Road and Black Dog Salvage on 13th Street in Old Southwest, allows families, especially seniors, to keep their beloved companions.
For the rest of the month of April, Black Dog Salvage will give a 25 percent discount to customers who bring in six cans or an 8-pound or larger bag of food for the PET program.
