To Benefit the Linn-Benton Food Share
Please join us in collecting non-perishable food items for the Linn-Benton Food Share this spring and summer. West Hills will also be collecting pet food for rescue organizations in our area.
Reasons your support is desperately needed:
Over 40% of the Linn-Benton Food Share's emergency food services are provided to children under the age of 18.
Average food stamp allotment: $71.00/month/person or $0.79 per meal.
80% of households receiving emergency food had incomes below 100% of federal poverty level.
Demand for emergency food services has risen 57% since 1997.
In the recent economic downturn emergency food services will be needed more than ever, so help us support our community and give generously today!
West Hills will also be accepting cash and check donations made payable to the Linn-Benton Food Share. Each $1 donation allows Linn-Benton to distribute up to 15 lbs of food!
Thank you for your support and have a lovely spring and summer season from the doctors and staff at West Hills Animal Hospital!
