Kentucky Cares, Lexington Humane Society offer free pet food after floods
LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) – Kentucky Cares has partnered with the Lexington Humane Society to offer free pet food to residents affected by recent flooding.
The nonprofit said it is focused on providing family-friendly service opportunities to anyone who needs them across Central Kentucky.
Players with Kentucky Baseball Club volunteered to distribute food to pet owners in need on Monday.
One volunteer said the experience was meaningful.
“Just happy to help people who can’t afford food for their animals and glad to help animals that sometimes don’t get to eat every day,” Clayton Johnson said. “It just feels good.”
A representative with Kentucky Cares said the event reflected the value of community service for young people.
“We’re just really thankful to them,” said executive director Madison Carey said. “I think we all feel better when we serve and this is a really great example of how kids can have fun and help others at the same time.”
