The 2024 Paws for Our Cause Walk will be held on Saturday, Oct. 19, 2024 at Rosedale Park in Pennington!
This year, we will be including a Family Wellness Fair, food trucks, and a pet costume contest!
If you would like to be on the Event Planning Committee, Participate as an Event Sponsor, or Event Vendor please contact:

Last year, over 100 people came together to celebrate our 50th Anniversary with this inaugural event.
As a result, 240 lbs of pet food was donated at the Walk for our Pet Pantry!
Why We Walk
Homebound seniors and their pets are especially vulnerable. Imagine you are isolated at home and the only other living thing in your home is your pet.
We know the tremendous value a pet can bring to our lives. You would do anything to keep that “furry family member” alive.
This would include feeding them your meal before you feed yourself.
Sharing the only food they have is not good for the elder or their pet. This brand new event helps fund our efforts to continue
providing free pet food twice a month to our meal participants so neither go hungry!
