Two Southborough residents teamed up to launch a Southborough chapter of the Central Mass Pet Pantry.
Food and supplies are available through the Southborough Food Pantry to town residents (or members of the United Parishes of Southborough church community).*
Realtors Sue Gordon and Gary Kelly are collecting donations. They first announced the initiative on Facebook two weeks ago:
Welcome to the Southborough Pet Pantry! With the rising cost of food, we realize how hard it is to help our furry friends with food and supplies. We are affiliated with the Central Mass Pet Pantry. whose mission is to have multiple pet pantry locations where people can donate items and take items as needed!
For those looking to support the pantry, pet food and supplies can be dropped off at a bin in Gordon’s garage, at 5 White Bagley Rd. (Below are pics they shared):

Organizers will also accept support through tax deductible financial contributions made out to the Central Mass Kibble Kitchen, a 501C3 organization.
Reminder that the Southborough Food Pantry also needs non-pet donations to support people in our community. (Summer tends to be a tough time for them.) Their current needs list has been updated as of August 16th:
Dish Detergent
Regular Coffee
Cranberry Juice
Mayonnaise
Corned Beef Hash
Chips Ahoy
Strawberry Jelly
Knorr Pasta Mixes
Crest Toothpaste
