Daily Bread Food Bank clients recently received a helping hand to feed their pets this holiday season.

Royal York Animal Hospital donated just over 1,000 pounds of pet food to the Etobicoke-based food bank during its seventh annual Pets Go Hungry Too pet food drive.

Their pet food drive lasted three weeks.

“There was a dedicated, combined effort between family, friends, acquaintances and coworkers who helped make it a success,” Marvin Randall said in a statement. “Our hope is that this helps bring awareness to everyone in our community, that pets need help, too, just like people and that, if we can give a little, it will make a big difference in the lives of animals and the people who love and care for them.”

To donate, bring any unopened bag or can of pet food to Royal York Animal Hospital at 4222 Dundas St. W. east of Royal York Road.

Royal York Animal Hospital and its team of veterinarians, technicians and management is open seven days a week.

Daily Bread Food Bank distributes fresh and shelf-stable food every day to its 135 member agencies across the Greater Toronto Area.
