Assemblyman Dave McDonough (R,C-Merrick) is promoting his pet food drive to make sure pets in our area don’t go hungry. The pet food drive will last through the end of May and will benefit Long Island Cares, Baxter’s Pet Pantry. Please ensure all pet food is unopened.

“I wanted to reach out to let you know about my pet food drive to help pets stay at home with their families. Winston Churchill said, “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give,” and I couldn’t agree more. Those wishing to donate can drop off pet food at 404 Bedford Ave, Bellmore, NY, Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. This drive will run through the end of the month, and we ask that all pet food be unopened and in its original packaging. All food will go to Long Island Cares, Baxter’s Pet Pantry. Thank you for your generosity during these times, and if you have any questions, please contact me at 1-516-409-2070 or mcdonoughd@nyassembly.gov,” said McDonough.
