COLUMBUS, Ind.- Friends of Columbus Animal Care Services (FCACS) will be handing out pet food through their Furry Friends Food Bank distribution this Thursday, May 21, at Columbus Municipal Airport, 4770 Ray Boll Blvd.

The pet food will be distributed in the parking lot in front of the plane, Charlie 119. The purpose of the pantry is to assist local community members in keeping their pets at their homes and out of area shelters.

Pet food will be available from the van from 4 to 5:30 p.m., or until supplies last. Mixed brands of cat food will be distributed in 4.5-pound bags and dog food in 14.5-pound bags.

Motorists should stay in their vehicles and line up on the west side of the driveway for the pet food, which will be brought to your vehicle.

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

In the event of bad weather, they will not distribute in active thunder and lightning, but will if it is simply raining.
