HandsOn Northwest North Carolina

Our Mission Following the example of St Francis of Assisi. we strive to enhance the lives of all animals by helping end animal hunger Fuzzy Friends Pet Food Pantry, a ministry of St Anne's Episcopal Church for low income people who cannot afford dog or cat food. I started Fuzzy Friends Pet Food Pantry in 2017. I have learned people with low incomes typically surrender their animal when they cannot afford dog or cat food and unfortunately their pets are surrendered to the animal shelter where many end up being euthanized. We came up with Fuzzy Friends Pet Food Pantry because we want to prevent people from having to surrender their pets because they cannot afford to feed them. Fuzzy Friends Pet Food Pantry currently serves 100 people a month. The volume of people in need is very high. We are open the 1st and the 4th Saturday of each month, from 10:00 AM-12:30 PM and also the 2nd & 3rd friday, from 10:30 AM-12:00 PM. If you are 13-17 years old, your parent, guardian or other caretaker must be with at all times
