In conjunction with the opening of the new Pet Food Express in the Red Hill shopping center in San Anselmo, the Bay Area pet supply chain is holding a two-day fundraiser for the Marin Humane Society’s Side-by-Side program, which helps “228 low-income seniors and others in need with pet food deliveries, transportation to the veterinarian, dog walking, pet grooming, litter box maintenance and emergency boarding of pets in the event of a client’s hospitalization,” according to the organization.
The fundraiser, set for Feb. 23-24, will donate 10 percent of all sales at Pet Food Express’ five stores in Marin – Hamilton, Mill Valley, Novato, San Anselmo and Terra Linda – to Side-by-Side.
“It’s a great cause,” Pet Food Express CEO Michael Levy said.
I "vote" with my shopping $, the kind of world I choose to be a part of, and will give as little as possible to either P.F.E. or any chain taking the place of a once local business which has been forced out by management decisions which to me are less than community minded. Shame on them. Do we really want to reward this model or have more of it?
