The Lehigh Valley IronPigs and Valley Central Veterinary Referral and Emergency Center are partnering to hold a Pet Food Drive on Saturday, June 6 from 9-11 a.m. at Coca-Cola Park. Guests will need to RSVP to receive pet food. Courtesy of Valley Central Veterinary Referral and Emergency Center, 200 bags of pet food will be provided at no charge for families and pet owners facing hardships. There is a limited supply – a first-come, first-served basis will be based on the RSVP responses.
“COVID-19 has impacted everyone, including pet owners and their pets,” said IronPigs President and General Manager Kurt Landes. “Pets are a part of many families and this event provides an opportunity for families in need to help feed their pets while reducing their own financial stress.”
