For Michael Hohl Chevrolet GMC, this marks their 10th year participating. The dealership collected over 1,570 pounds of pet food for the cause in 2023. Their dedication and success have inspired other dealerships to get involved, making this year the largest coordinated effort to date.
"The Michael Hohl dealership has been a steadfast partner, helping us support the pets of people who need them most," said Genevieve Frederick, founder and president of Feeding Pets of the Homeless. "We are thrilled to see other dealerships across the country join this year. Their participation means we can provide even more relief to communities that are struggling."
Donations of pet food can be dropped off at any of the participating dealership locations listed above. The goal at each location is to fill a vehicle with pet food that will be distributed by Feeding Pets of the Homeless to local organizations working with homeless and low-income individuals.
"Pets are an important part of the lives of people experiencing homelessness," Frederick added. "They offer unconditional love, protection, and a sense of normalcy during tough times. But caring for a pet while experiencing homelessness is challenging. That’s why these donations are so important."
