Eric, further to your post and on a serious note our lake association has done a Thanksgiving Food Drive for a number of years now. I have always offered to help for an afternoon then deliver all the food to the warehouse for the good folks to sort.
The last time we were there the lady gave us a tour and I noticed some cat and dog food on a shelf. I asked her about it and she said they do not advertise asking for it but they are grateful for donations of pet food. Lots of old people living alone and only have their pets for companions. The Food Bank discovered that those folks would feed their pets before themselves, the bond was so very strong between the two. One could not survive without the other.
Pets. Special indeed.
