LOCAL EVENTS
The Central Texas Food Bank and the Hays County Pet Resource Center hosted an end of year drive-up food distribution for people and pets on Dec. 28 at Mc-Cormick Middle School in Buda. This event marks the fourth distribution event held in Hays County.
Pet supplies for cats and dogs were provided, as well as resource guide flyers that included information for spay/neuter clinics, behavior support and other low-cost pet services. The Hays County Pet Resource Center estimates that it distributed supplies to 233 dogs and 144 cats.
“The attendance at these events showcases the need for strong community programs and partnerships with human services organizations within Hays County,” said Lee Ann Shenefiel, Hays County Pet Resource center director and executive advisor, “We want to continue providing these opportunities to ensure both people and pets have access to resources to keep their pets out of the shelter system.”
As a part of this year’s distribution events to date, the Hays PRC has provided food for over 600 families and more than 1,500 pets combined. Future distribution event dates will be announced in 2025. This event was made possible through the collaboration between Central Texas Food Bank, Hays County Pet Resource Center and Austin Pets Alive!.
