It says RM.5B above the nondescript door but its so much more than that. Because they fight hunger there and The Pongo Fund is right there with them. 4th of July weekend, the beaches are packed. Summer at its finest. But in a few weeks the tourists are gone and it’ll be back to normal again, and if your beaches are like our beaches, there’s a lot of good folks there fighting to get by. They work hard but the dollars don’t always equal the effort.
Thankfully places like Cannon Beach Food Pantry are up to the task. This is a special place, staffed by volunteers that deliver every box with extra smiles. But one of the most special things is that they are part of The Pongo Fund Distribution Network. Meaning every few weeks we’ll arrive with another load of high-quality dog and cat food to be shared with hungry people with hungry pets. How important is the pet food? It sits on the shelf alongside other high demand items like canned chile and tuna. And it’s requested hundreds of times every year. The box with the ketchup got some, box 23 did too.
It may not look like much, but those bags, one by one, two by two, that’s what it’s all about. Because like life itself, it’s one step at a time. And if your dog or cat is hungry today, The Pongo Fund and Cannon Beach Food Pantry has food for you. And if they’re hungry tomorrow, we’ll have food for you then too. Because being there when we’re needed it the best feeling.
Special shout out of gratitude to our friends at Dogs Allowed, a fantastic pet supply store in Cannon Beach. With their generous support, The Pongo Fund has provided more than 15 tons of food to our Oregon Coast friends.
Being there whenever we’re needed.
And this is why we Pongo.
