Saturday April 16th from 9:00 am - 2:00 pm. Our local radio stations are working to fill The Columbia-Greene Humane Society Pet Food Pantry. The Pantry is available to any Columbia or Greene County resident who is having trouble affording pet food. The idea behind the pantry was to help the pet owners so they would not have to give up the pet if they could not afford to feed it. 98.5 The Cat, Cruisin' 93.5, and 1230 WHUC will be at The Hudson Shop Rite collecting pet food for the shelter pantry. A collection box will be at the store on Healy Blvd a week before the drive for people to donate early if they like.
