We are thankful for everyone who has helped HOPE throughout the year with donations and such. We are going to host a giveaway from today until Dec 16th, so basically one week. The giveaway is for a needy family to help them out by HOPE providing a bag of cat food or dog food to the family. We have 20 bags of dog food ranging from large to small bags and 20 bags of cat food again ranging from small to large bags. No guarantee as to what size bag you will get.
All bags of food have been donated by various places and from various sponsors that are to remain anonymous . But we can say the Effingham County Animal Shelter is donating one bag of dog food and one bag of cat food to show their appreciation in all that HOPE does for them. That said, they have also offered to be the storage facility for the 40 bags. When the winners are selected and notified they will pick up their bag from the shelter. The nominations must be local to the Effingham area to be able to pick up their bag!
Please send submissions to hope31329@comcast.net. This is for nominations only and not for yourself. Provide the following information of the family you are nominating:
- Name including first and last name
- Phone number
- Email address
- If they own a dog or cat (only select one for nominations)
- Explain why this family needs this right now. Be descriptive.
HOPE will select 20 dogs and 20 cats to receive the Christmas Pet Food Giveaway. Owners will be notified by phone/email and they will have until the end of December to pick up their bag of food. If they have both a dog and cat, they will be told which bag they will be picking up from their nomination. Any bags not picked up by Jan 2nd will be forfeited and a new person will be selected or it will be given to the shelter or a rescue.
Good luck everyone. And please share this. Thank you!
