CANIDAE has been a huge supporter of The Pongo Fund Pet Food Bank since 2009, when their initial donation of $125,000 worth of premium pet food helped this very important charity open their doors. Larry Chusid founded The Pongo Fund Pet Food Bank to help people feed their beloved pets, so the animals can remain with the family instead of being surrendered to a shelter. Although many who receive the lifesaving pet food from The Pongo Fund never imagined they’d ever be unable to feed their pet without help, it can and does happen to all walks of life.
To date, The Pongo Fund Pet Food Bank has provided meals for over 50,000 hungry animals throughout Oregon & Southwest Washington. Now it's our turn to give back to Larry and The Pongo Fund, and I'm asking for your help.
The Pongo Fund is entered in the Chase Community Giving contest for a share of $5 million in grants to the winning charities. A win for The Pongo Fund would come at a very good time, because the charity was recently forced out of their building after it was severely damaged by rain and slated for demolition. The pet food bank has located a new home, but will now have to pay rent and restock the warehouse.
CANIDAE will continue to lend a hand with donations of their premium pet food and treats, but it takes more than one company to keep Larry's lifesaving work going. Winning $50,000 would go a long way in helping The Pongo Fund get back on their feet so they can continue to feed pets in need.
You can help! Please cast a vote today in support of the thousands of families and pets The Pongo Fund Pet Food Bank helps to feed, and those who will need their assistance in the future. I voted, and it only takes a minute of your time.
Please vote today – the contest ends on September 19th!

ReplyDeleteI have been trying to cast my vote for the Pongo Fund but it seems to be quite difficult. Any tricks you'd care to share?

I voted and didn't run into any problems, so I'm not sure what the difficulty is for you. I do think (but not certain) that you have to have a Facebook account.
DeleteI just voted and it couldn't have been easier. I also tweeted it. That is such a super organization. I hope they can get everything back. Wish we had something like that around here but I have said that before. It would be great to get more of those going. Take care.
ReplyDeleteI didn't have any trouble voting either. Let's all help spread the word.
