September’s Monthly Mission Outreach: The Pet Food Pantry at Newnan-Coweta Humane Society/Pokey’s Place
Sunday morning. St. Paul’s last Monthly Mission Outreach for 2024 is to help community members in financial difficulties receive pet food they can’t afford for their beloved pets. The Pet Food Pantry at Newnan-Coweta Humane Society/Pokey’s Place serves 60 clients a month and the number is increasing. We thank Wade and Matthew Hand for being such wonderful spokespersons for this very worthy cause and helping us to remember that “No pet should be hungry!”
