Suffolk County Legislator Tom Donnelly is hosting a pet food drive now through the end of May.

Donnelly’s district office is serving as a drop-off location for the 13th Legislative
Pet Food Drive where much-needed pet food and supplies will be collected to benefit
Baxter’s Pet Pantry of Long Island Cares.

All donations go to Baxter’s Pantry. While 5 and 10 pound bags of dog and cat
food, canned food, kitty litter and new pet toys are most needed, all pet foods are
welcome including food for hamsters, fish, birds and ferrets.

Items may be dropped off at Donnelly’s District Office, located at 130 West
Jericho Turnpike in Huntington Station, Monday through Thursday between the hours of 9
am and 4 pm until May 31. As per health code requirements, all pet food must be unopened.

“Hard times impact all members of the family, including our animal companions,”
Donnelly said.  “Families shouldn’t have to decide between feeding themselves and
feeding their beloved pets. I am happy to partner with Long Island cares again on this
important and much needed cause.”
