10/26/12 - A program to help low-income seniors make sure their family pets are fed has received a grant to help them through another year. The Livingston County Senior Nutrition program runs Chef Wheelie's Pet Meals on Wheels, which delivers food to seniors who struggle to feed their pets. Organizers say they were recently awarded a $1,000 grant by the Banfield Foundation to help them with equipment and supplies as well as transportation costs. However, they stress that they are still absolutely in need of the public to make moist-cat-food and moist-dog-food donations. Pet food donations can be dropped off at the Charyl Stockwell Preparatory Academy in Brighton, Be Our Guest Adult Day Service in Howell and the Livingston County Senior Nutrition Center in the old Hartland High School on M-59, west of US-23. They will also pick up donations. You can call them at (810) 632-2155 or find more information on their website, a link for which is posted below. (JK)
