Feed Our Children

HistoryThe economic crisis of 2008 caused many families to face extreme hardships. Many were forced to choose between feeding the family and feeding the family pet. Two area women were brought together by a common goal; to keep pets with their families. A committee was formed in the fall, and DF2FM launched an inaugural Valentine pet food drive in February of 2009 as an initiative working through TAFB.
