THE FIRST ANNUAL B&D SENIOR PET FOOD DRIVE (Hounds for Helping Hands) HAS STARTED!!
Bo & DeeMo has partnered with well known local charity Helping Hands of Vegas Valley in order to help low income seniors provide food for their best friends for the holidays! Some low-income seniors have a challenging time feeding themselves not to mention their four legged pals. This includes dogs and cats.
A direct quote from Dana who deals firsthand with the seniors: “Many of our low-income seniors live alone with pets as their only family,” said Dana Serrata, executive director of Helping Hands of Vegas Valley. “Our clients are unable to afford food for themselves, much less their pets. They don’t have the resources to feed their pets properly, so they share their own meals.”
You can help alleviate some of their hardship during the holidays. What we are asking for are 2-5 or 6-8 lb. bags of either cat food or dog food for Christmas food donations which will be packed up and will be delivered on December 18th. We are delighted and grateful that nationally well known Comedian/Actor Bobby Slayton and Author/Adult Actress Sunset Thomas will be on hand to sign autographs and greet fans. Food donations will be accepted at all three Bogart’s Bone Appetit starting now. There will be an ultimate prize for the individual who drops off the most food on December 4th. The prize consists of a round of golf for four (including cart and balls) at the prestigious Canyon Gate Country Club!
Las Vegas is a community that gives back! We currently have several wonderful food/toy drives that take place annually. However it is our goal to draw attention to a group that is sometimes overlooked. Several low income Senior citizens rely upon Helping Hands of Vegas Valley to deliver their food and to take them to important Dr’.s appointments etc. We are hoping to help these seniors feed their pets who are their companions during the holidays and all year! When you are alone in the world and you have a companion such as your dog or cat and you have a specific amount of food each month ultimately some of the food will be shared and you have seniors not receiving enough nutrition. Of course this affects the nutrition for their pets also.
The event will take place on December 4th at the Main location at Bogart’s Bone Appetit in the parking lot. From 1 PM -4 PM.
