Furry Friends Food Bank distributes free pet food on Thursday

COLUMBUS, Ind.- Friends of Columbus Animal Care Services (FCACS) will be handing out pet food through their Furry Friends Food Bank distribution on Thursday, February 19, from 4 to 5:30 p.m., at Columbus Municipal Airport, 4770 Ray Boll Blvd.

Pet food will be available in the parking lot in front of the plane, Charlie 119, until supplies last. Mixed brands of cat food will be distributed in 4.5-pound bags, and dog food in 14.5-pound bags.

Plan to stay in your vehicles and line up on the west side of the driveway for the food. The food will be brought to your car.

The purpose of the pantry is to keep pets in the homes of their community members and out of area shelters.

This program is one of several Friends of Columbus Animal Care Services initiatives designed as “alternatives to intake” at the shelter. FCACS is the 501(c)(3) non-profit partner of Columbus Animal Care Services.
