Our Lenten Mission...
Animal House Project - DRY DOG & CAT FOOD DRIVE
March 2nd through Easter Sunday, April 20th
Animal House Project began in conjunction with the Chester County Pet Food Pantry.
Their operation is located on Robinson Street in Pottstown.
They offer comprehensive support to vulnerable animals including rescuing, adopting, and facilitating veterinary care and food access.
Animal House Project is committed to addressing the needs of at-risk animals and their dedicated families, ensuring a brighter future for these cherished companions. “At times, they are the last option for families to keep their companion pets at home.”
Animal House Project provides donated pet food and pet care services to families going through life-sustaining trauma including cancer, Parkinson's, MS, and Lou Gehrig’s Disease; seniors living on a fixed income; returning and retired military veterans; domestic violence survivors; and single parents teaching their children the responsibility of caring for animals. They currently provide food to many animals including dogs, cats, horses, birds, rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, bearded dragons, and even hermit crabs.
Collection boxes will be placed in the Narthex for your donations starting March 2nd.
For more information on the Animal House Project and what the organization does, brochures are available in the Narthex.
PROJECT OUTREACH – FOOD PANTRY
We support our local food pantry serving the Royersford and Spring City communities with food and household items collected as part of our weekly offertory during worship. Members of our congregation serve at the Food Pantry monthly for community distribution.
