Free Pet Food Giveaway from Blue Ridge Humane and the ASPCA
May 15 @ 9:00 am – 1:00 pm
Blue Ridge Humane Society

 – Blue Ridge Humane Society is partnering with the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty  Animals (ASPCA) Spay/Neuter Alliance in Asheville to provide a free pet food giveaway to those in need or affected by COVID-19, on Friday, May 15, from 9am-1pm at the Blue Ridge Humane Society storage facility located at 802 S. Grove Street in Hendersonville, NC. Cat and dog food will be distributed first come, first serve, as supplies last. Social distancing and protective measures will be taken by all staff and we ask the public to do the same (contact free food handoffs, wear a mask, and keep a 6ft distance).

Food is provided through the ASPCA’s Relief and Recovery Initiative, which has included the creation of regional pet food distribution centers provided in partnership with the Petco Foundation, to give dog and cat owners free access to critical food supplies as the outbreak continues to spread.

Blue Ridge Humane has increased pet food distribution to local partner food banks in response to needs due to COVID-19 and is grateful for the support of the ASPCA to extend resources to those in need through another channel. If pet owners find themselves in need of assistance during this time they are encouraged to visit the Blue Ridge Humane Community Services page at https://www.blueridgehumane.org/community-services/ or call the Pet Helpline at (828) 393-5832 for advice or access to resources, including pet behavior counseling, vet and pet food assistance.

The Blue Ridge Humane Society, Inc., is a 501(c)3 animal welfare organization started in 1952 dedicated to ensuring the highest quality of life for animals in Henderson County and our neighboring communities. BRHS cares for pets awaiting adoption at the Adoption Center; offers low-cost vaccine clinics, animal education programs, pet training classes, and youth education and projects; coordinates community pet food assistance, emergency vet assistance, and the Spay Neuter Incentive Program (SNIP), which is a collaboration with Henderson County, the City of Hendersonville, and the Henderson County Animal Services Center.
