http://www.wistv.com/Global/story.asp?S=10563787WIS-TV June 19, 2009 Columbia, South Carolina-"With the unemployment rate continuing to rise, it's no surprise Harvest Hope Food Bank is having to feed more families across the Midlands. "Every Friday, the Humane Society sets up a tent at Harvest Hope and gives people a month's supply of pet food, something people say they don't know what they would do without. "In an eighteen-wheeler trailer, Diamond Foods donates all of the dog and cat grub. And as more people need help getting essentials for themselves, they predict more food will be needed to help feed the animals. "Right now 1,200 people are signed up to get the free food. The Humane Society says they will never turn someone away that may need help feeding their pets."

The Pet Soup food pantry provides dog and cat food to needy pet owners. We all know that taking care of a pet is a life-long commitment. In a perfect world, everyone would be able to provide for all of their pet’s needs for their entire lives but sometimes our financial circumstances change for the worse especially in these economic times. We are glad to be able to give food to those who are economically disadvantaged.
Pet Soup operates out of the Harvest Hope Food Bank parking lot every other Friday (see schedule at left at web page link). All of the food is donated by local pet food manufacturers and the general public and the program is largely run by volunteers. This simple, yet much needed program serves more than 4,000 registered clients, and distributes more than 40,000 pounds of pet food every two weeks. Please donate to support this worthy program and help keep pets out of shelters.
Pet Soup is completely dependent on private donations, and we are very appreciative of monetary donations to help with administrative and transport costs, food donations, and volunteers.
We accept donations of any brand of cat or dog food. If bags have been opened, please be sure they are taped securely shut. You may drop food off in the Pet Soup Bin outside of Project Pet's offices at 6880 St. Andrews Rd., Columbia, SC. Need Help?
Pet Soup is only available at the specified dates and times, and supplies are limited based on the amount of food donated each week.

"Last summer, ACHS started delivering dog and cat food to more than 1,000 local families with a member who was out of work.
"Their goal was to reduce the number of animals being turned into the county shelter because the owners could no longer afford to feed them.
"Due to the growing need for assistance, the Humane Society has partnered with AIM, which will distribute the pet food through their food bank.
"If you are in need of pet food, you can contact AIM, at (864) 226-2273 and enroll in their program. The Humane Society will continue to deliver pet food to AIM twice a week and looks forward to this partnership.
"The Humane Society is a no-kill nonprofit organization and donations for the food drive are still needed. To donate, checks can be sent to P.O. Box 2262, Anderson, SC 29622 or call (864) 225-9855."
