LEDYARD — Households that could use help feeding their pets over the holidays have until Tuesday, November 17, to request a gift bag from Ledyard C.H.A.I.N. The group will distribute food and treats on November 24.
The signup form posted by Ledyard Social Services says the program is open to Ledyard and Gales Ferry residents already registered with the town department. To sign up, call 860-287-3504. Have the types and number of pets ready. For cats and dogs, say whether they eat dry or canned food, or both. The group also asks callers to identify extra-small or small dogs.
Pickup runs from 1 to 4 p.m. Tuesday, November 24, inside the Gales Ferry Fire Company hall at 1772 Route 12. Look for the Ledyard C.H.A.I.N. table. If you cannot make the pickup, the group asks that you call to see if another time can be arranged.
