Today was another milestone for The Pongo Fund Pet Food Bank as we shipped nearly two tons of premium quality pet food to the Mid-Columbia Community Action Council in The Dalles. This group is a part of the Oregon Food Bank Network and serves as Oregon’s Regional Food Bank for Hood River, Sherman & Wasco counties.

Shannon, Tad and Larry were on hand to greet Mike and his good buddy Apollo, a 2 year-old rescue that joined him for the two hour drive to Portland. In short order we got their truck loaded with nearly 4,000 lbs of premium quality pet food; food that will be the lifeline for hundreds of financially strapped families and their family pets. The best highlight occurred just before they left, as Apollo enjoyed a selection of treats and gave kisses to everyone.

The Pongo Fund works daily to ensure that no family pet goes hungry. And tonight, our four-legged friends in three more Oregon counties are enjoying an excellent dinner because of the vital work that we do.

It was a very good day!
