Pet Food Care Packages

Pet Care Packages for Meals on Wheels Recipients in Suffolk & Isle of Wight

A New Partnership for Our Furry Friends

Meals on Wheels of Suffolk and Isle of Wight has partnered with the Suffolk Humane Society to bring comfort and care not just to local seniors, but also to their beloved animal companions. Launched in March, this heartwarming initiative delivers thoughtfully curated pet care packages directly to the homes of Meals on Wheels recipients across Suffolk and Isle of Wight.

Bringing Relief and Joy

Each package contains essential pet supplies designed to ease the financial and physical challenges of pet ownership for our clients. From pet food and treats to basic care items, these deliveries make a meaningful difference in the lives of recipients—both human and animal.

Thanks to generous community support, we’ve successfully completed two rounds of deliveries. While our goal is to increase the frequency to bi-weekly, current donation levels allow for monthly distribution.

14

families have received these thoughtful packages each month.

The Impact Is Profound

Recipients have expressed deep gratitude, sharing how the packages lift a weight off their shoulders—emotionally, physically, and financially. This simple gesture not only helps pets stay happy and healthy, but also strengthens the emotional bond between seniors and their trusted companions.
