We're serving Chula Vista neighbors with critical illnesses, and soon... their pets, too!🐈🐕

With the Chula Vista Community Foundation's generous support, we will pilot our AniMeals program to serve our clients' pets in partnership with the Helen Woodward Animal Center.

When many struggle to secure food for their furry friends, it pushes our clients to choose between their furry friends and necessary nutrition. Because of the Chula Vista Community Foundation, Chula Vista clients won't have to make those difficult decisions. Thank you, Chula Vista Community Foundation! 🫶
