As part of an international effort spearheaded by Pet Sitters International, the largest association for professional pet sitters, Paws First LLC, Metuchen, is hosting the local Hungry Bowl pet food drive. Animal shelters and pet rescue operations, facing empty pantries as they seek to feed animals waiting to be adopted, need to stock their shelves with dog and cat food. All donations will benefit the Woodbridge Animal Shelter & Adoption Center.
Donations will be accepted Dec. 1-12 at the following locations: Marafiki Fair Trade, 20 New St., Metuchen, 732-902- 6300; Old Franklin School, 491 Middlesex Ave., Metuchen, 862-368-2202; Metuchen High School, 400 Grove Ave., Metuchen, 732-321-8744; ShopRite, 877 St. George Ave., Woodbridge, 732-636-3500; Woodbridge High School, 1 Samuel Lupo Place, Woodbridge, 732-602-8600; and JFK Memorial High School, 200 Washington Ave., Iselin, 732-602-8650.
