🐾 Because Pets Are Family Too! 🐾

We know times can get tough — and no one should ever have to give up their furry friend because of financial hardship. 💔

That’s why we’re helping spread the word about York County SPCA's Pet Food Pantry. This program helps ensure that no pet in our community goes hungry and no family has to make the heartbreaking choice to surrender a beloved companion just because they can’t afford food.

📦 Here’s what to know:
✨ Pet food is available once per month, per household
✨ The program is open to York County residents
✨ It operates on a first-come, first-served basis
✨ Availability depends on community donations 🐕🐾

If you or someone you know could use a helping hand, please share this resource.
And if you’re able to give — whether that’s donating pet food or spreading the word — your kindness helps keep families together. ❤️
