EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (WEAU)-- A local store is teaming up to help pets in need this holiday season.
Pet Food Plus is partnering with the St. Francis Food Pantry to collect and distribute food for animals. In addition to pet food, donations of cat litter are also accepted. Donation bins are set up at the store as part of the donation drive, but on Saturday the company also hosted a fun filled afternoon of games and prizes to kick off the fundraising efforts.
"There are a lot of needy pets this time of year so its just nice to think of them as well. Every bit helps," Pet Food Plus marketing specialist Dori Friedmann explained.
The food drive will continue through December 15th. Last year, Pet Food Plus donated more than 6,600 pounds of food and litter to the food pantry. They're aiming to beat that number this year.
