The Summer Olympics are here once again and everyone at Gleaning for The World want to wish Team USA all of the best in their pursuit of Gold Medals.
Prayers for a safe and exciting Summer Games for everyone.
We were happy to help Operation Paws for Homes with pet food through our Gleaning For Pets program. This program is made possible through our partnership with Greater Good Charities. When animal welfare agencies save on pet food and supplies they can help more animals in need.
By working with GreaterGood, the Virginia Federation of Humane Societies, and all of the shelters, rescues, sanctuaries and pantries across the Commonwealth of Virginia. We are proud to work with our friends in animal welfare across Virginia.

Last week we delivered multiple cases of bottles of water and crackers to the Lynchburg CBOC (Community-Based Outpatient Clinic - for the VA). We check in each month to see if the clinic has any needs we can meet.

Firework Safety for Pets
While humans may enjoy the spectacle of fireworks, for some pets, like during thunderstorms, fireworks can cause significant stress. This may manifest as violent shaking, trembling, excessive drooling, barking, howling, attempts to hide or escape.
