Humane Pennsylvania is holding a two-day No Pet Hungry: Million Meal Challenge food donation drive Friday and Saturday, Oct. 6 and Oct. 7, in the parking lot of its Freedom Center for Animal Life-Saving and Humane Veterinary Hospitals Reading, 1729 N. 11th St.
Humane PA is asking the public to drop off donations of wet or dry dog and cat food on one or both days. Friday’s hours are noon to 7 p.m. and will feature free desserts from Sweet Street Desserts, local vendors, shelter merchandise and raffles, yard games, a photo booth, live music, a happy hour and the Wich Way Sandwiches food truck.
Saturday’s hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and features a meet-and-greet with Reading Police Department K-9 Chase and his handler, Officer Ross Heckler; Reading Fightin Phils mascot Screwball; Reading Royals mascot Slapshot; free Sweet Street Desserts; Tlacuani Mexican Restaurant food truck; shelter merchandise and raffles; yard games; a photo booth; and face painting.
“Donations collected during the event will support the animals in HPA’s care, as well as Spike’s Pet Food Pantry, which has distributed almost 100,000 pounds of food, supplies, and litter to families and organizations in need this year so far,” said an announcement Monday.
Humane Pennsylvania also operates an animal adoption shelter and veterinary hospital in Lancaster County.
