COLUMBUS — LifeCare Alliance has received a $2,500 grant to help local seniors take care of their pets.
The Meals on Wheels America grant supports the Columbus-based organization’s Senior PetCare program for its coverage area that includes Logan County, along with Franklin, Champaign, Marion and Madison counties.
Funding will be used to provide food, supplies and care for area clients with pets, which can be financially and physically burdensome.
“Our goal for the Senior PetCare Program is to help our clients care for and keep their companion pets happy and healthy by offering critical basic need of pet care and food,” said Chuck Gehring, LifeCare Alliance president and CEO. “The Meals on Wheels Love Pets grant will allow us to continue to provide pet food so clients do not share their meals with their pets, which helps maintain proper nutrition for the clients and their pets.”
