For Immediate Release Contact: Jeanne Blandford 203-861-4000 [email protected] www.chickensouppets.com Chicken Soup for the Soul Pet Food Donates over 10,000 Pounds of Premium Nutrition and Low-Calorie Dog Treats to Independent Animal Rescue Organizations in the Metro Detroit Area -------- Part of National Fill A Bowl… Feed A Soul™ Effort to Provide 1 Million Meals Annually to Pets in Need COS COB, CT, May 24 2018 - Chicken Soup for the Soul Pet Food, a leading super premium pet food company, recently donated 10,277 pounds of their nutritious pet food and low-calorie, all-natural dog treats to help feed animals in need in the Metro Detroit area. The donation is part of the pet food company’s Fill A Bowl… Feed A Soul™ (FABFAS) program, a national campaign targeting one million meals for shelter pets annually. The food was first shipped to Premier Pets in Beverly Hills, MI where owner Mike Palmer oversaw the distribution to local shelters and food banks desperate for nutritious food to feed their pets. “We feel so fortunate to be able to help make the community a better place for both humans and animals,” said Mr. Palmer. “The positive energy and the passion from the rescue organizations is contagious. These rescues work so hard and do an incredible job of caring for and providing refuge for so many animals, this is the least we can do. But we truly wouldn’t be able to do it without our customers and the support of everyone in the community.” “Working with Premier Pets has been the perfect partnership,” said Jeanne Blandford, Director of Marketing for Chicken Soup for the Soul Pet Food. “Many rescue organizations do not have the means to take in such a large quantity of food. Mike facilitated the process by accepting the food at his Beverly Hills location and then distributing appropriate quantities to each rescue in his community.” Some recipients of the generous donation were: Almost Home Animal Haven in Southfield, MI, Michigan Animal Rescue, Pontiac, MI, Good Karma Puppy Rescue, White Lake, MI, Special Animal Friends and Rescue (Safari) in Livonia, MI and Paws in the D, Detroit, MI.
