Today, Sunday December 22nd, The Pongo Fund will be more than a Pet Food Bank. We will also be Santa Land. A place of joy for the child in all of us. “You never soar so high as when you stoop down to help a child or an animal.” – Jewish Proverb
Hungry people have hungry pets. And that’s why The Pongo Fund exists. But many of those hungry people also have hungry young children. And chances are good that many of those children will not enjoy the Christmas that young children deserve.
The photo is just a small sampling of the 18 foot long tables of Christmas gifts and goodies that make up our Santa Land. Paid for personally by the volunteers of The Pongo Fund. It’s our way of giving back to a community that needs more than just pet food. They need to feel loved, too.
Crayolas, books, jigsaw puzzles, family friendly games, hats, gloves, scarves, socks, oranges, apples, tea, cocoa, apple cider, sweets, toothbrushes and more. No junk. All for those that need a little extra cheer in their stockings.
Bringing joy to the world, one pet and one person at a time. And to all of our Pongo Family that is not Pongoing with us today because they are away with their own families, please know that you are missed and you are loved.
Sit. Stay. Eat. Live. And Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays too. With love and appreciation for each and every one of you, for all you do to keep us going.
And this is why we Pongo.
From all of us at The Pongo Fund.
