3rd Grader Gives Back: Starts Food Pantry for Pets

A 3rd grader, Zach Wilson loves animals.  If he could, he would adopt all the homeless animals so that they would have a home.

Even though Zach could not adopt all the homeless animals, he wanted to help.

He started with what he knew.

With the help of his mom, he began a food pantry in central Florida for pets.  If an owner could have free food, then they might not have to give up their pet.  So why not supply free food to those in need with pets?

Since it the pantry opened several months ago, they have given over 1,000 pounds of cat and dog food.  They have also started a small medical fund for vaccines for animals.

Kids Getting Busted For Doing Good Deeds

The ideas was generated by a Family Circle article from the 90's as a way to reward kids.

Consider implementing a program like this in your community.
