GCM receives pet support grant
June 14, 2016
Greer Community Ministries (GCM) has received a $1,000 grant from Meals on Wheels America to support its client pet food program. Funding will be used to provide food, supplies, and care for Greer Meals on Wheels clients with pets.
“Our program currently serves 30 clients with pets,” said Karen Roughton, Greer Meals on Wheels coordinator. “We know that our clients’ pets are very important to them and help keep them from feeling lonely. We are grateful for this grant because it will help us keep providing pet food so that our diners won’t share the lunch we deliver to them with their pets.”
GCM is a non-profit that serves the greater Greer community through Senior Dining, a food pantry, Sharon’s Closet, and Greer Meals on Wheels.
In total, Meals on Wheels America has granted $300,000 to 162 local Meals on Wheels programs through the Meals on Wheels Loves Pets initiative this year.
