Grey Face Gives is a program created by Grey Face Rescue with the goal of giving back to pet owners in need through donations of food and pet care supplies. As our mission statement says, “Grey Face Rescue strives to educate and strengthen the bond between families and pets to avert the need for rescue in later years.” Our hope is that by providing support and resources to pet owners, the need for rescue will decrease in our community.
About the Program
The Grey Face Gives trailer will be available to community members once per quarter (3 month period) to obtain supplies needed to support pets in their care. The program is application based and will serve 15-20 applicants per month. If community members require support across multiple quarters, they will be required to submit a new application for each quarter they are seeking supplies.
