Town hosting food and supply drive for pets

The Town of Oyster Bay is partnering with Long Island Cares on a month-long Pet Food & Supply Drive.

The drive, from March 15 through April 15, will benefit Baxter’s Pet Pantry, formed by Long Island Cares in 2009 to assist in feeding dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, caged pets, fish, reptiles and all others considered family members.

Baxter’s Pet Pantry has helped distribute over 1 million pounds of pet food, all of which has been donated through pet food drives like this one and corporate donations.

Those interested in supporting the Pet Food & Supply Drive can place donated items in drop-off boxes located in the following locations: Town Hall North, 54 Audrey Avenue, Oyster Bay; Town Hall South, 977 Hicksville Road, Massapequa; and the Town of Oyster Bay Ice Skating Center, 1001 Stewart Avenue, Bethpage.
