Dear Editor,

On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Endless Mountains Animal League (EMAL), we would like to thank the
Community for their support with project H.O.P.E.- Helping Pets Out Everywhere.
Our current project is lending a “paw” to help needy families with feeding their pets.
With these tough economic times and a very cold winter many families are finding it hard to feed their children and heat their homes, let alone feed their pets. EMAL, in cooperation with area food pantries, senior centers and soup kitchens are helping to supply much needed pet food, allowing them to keep their pets. Many families throughout this country have to surrender their animals to shelters because they can no longer afford to feed them. Animal shelters are overwhelmed. Many communities have opened “pet soup kitchens.” It’s a sign of these tough economic times.
EMAL has purchased and distributed nearly 1,000 pounds of food throughout the area since the project began in early January.
We would like to also thank the great people at Pet Supplies Plus, Seven Loaves Soup Kitchen, local food pantries and senior centers for their support and cooperation. If you would like more information on how you can help, please call 570-945-3391.

Mary J. Smotryski

Board of Director
