Pet Food Pantry Now Seeking Donations

The monthly food pantry will help pets in need, especially those affected by Hurricane Sandy.

The Brooklyn Bark Dog Walking and Pet Sitting Pet Food Pantry will have a grand opening celebration on Saturday, Dec. 15 at 11 a.m., to cut the ribbon on their new location at 352-358 Classon Ave.

The Child Development Support Corp. will be hosting the pantry for Brooklyn Bark on a monthly basis, distributing dog food, treats and toys as well as cat food and litter on an as-needed basis.

“Every day our clients ask for pet food. I am so happy that after all these years we can help them with the four-footed members of their family, too. Our job is to keep families intact and out of harm. These donations will go a long way,” said Mireille Massac, who has run the CSDC food pantry for the past 15 years.
