Participants will drive-thru and have the opportunity to select up to two bags or cases of food. Officials said it is first-come, first-served.
“Coincidentally, April 28 is also National Superhero Day, which we think is quite apt for our third major food giveaway event because pet owners truly are superheroes in the eyes of their animals,” said Diane Summers, manager for Orange County Animal Services. “We want to provide means to keep animals in their homes, to mitigate any chance they’d be surrendered to our shelter and making this food available to those in need is one way we accomplish that goal.”
The pet food was donated by Hill’s Science Diet with an estimated value of $44,000, according to officials.
