The COVID-19 Pet Food Bank will begin in Monday, March 30 at the Kentucky Humane Society’s Sam Swope Pet Treatment & Lifesaving Center, 241 Steedly Drive, Louisville.
Distribution will be done alphabetically by last name. Pick-up will be each day at 9 a.m. and run through 11 a.m., clients are asked to remain in their cars for curbside assistance. Assistance will be available while supplies last.
Here is the order in which pet food will be given:
