Thousands of organizations are seeking donations for the less fortunate.  Think of the companion pets of the homeless, they are as deprived as the people who care for them. These pets provide comfort and companionship to the homeless.  Rolling Acres Memorial Gardens for Pets is seeking donations of pet food, toys, leashes, collars, blankets, and pet beds. You can help.  Has your pet outgrown a collar or leash?  Has his diet changed and you have an open bag of pet food you won’t use?  Or one your pet doesn’t like?  Tape up the open bag of pet food and bring it to Rolling Acres.  Your donations will be distributed to the homeless in the community.   Since September, 2001, Rolling Acres Memorial Gardens for Pets has been soliciting food and supplies for homeless people’s pets.  At that time, it came to the attention of Nancy Piper, owner of Rolling Acres, that many homeless people also had pets.   Some of their concerns are food for their pets and veterinary care—the same as ours!  The homeless receive comfort, love, joy, and happy moments from their pets—just like us!  We will also take blankets, towels, or clothing to them along with the pet food.   In 2010, with the generous and overwhelming assistance of the community, Rolling Acres Memorial Gardens for Pets provided 4943 pounds of dry pet food, 6832 ounces of canned pet food, 103 bags of cat and dog treats, as well as pet beds, pet carriers, toys, collars, leashes, pet brushes, and combs to Homeless Peoples’ Pets.  The need for this support has been increasing in recent months.  Rolling Acres thanks the public for their help in this year-round project.  Uplift Organization is the primary benefactor of the pet food and supplies. We also provide the Red Cross with pet food.
