Write a commentThe Oswego County Comets Riding Club recently held its annual area-wide Food Drive; collecting donations of non-perishable food items to help the food pantry at the First Presbyterian Church in Mexico meet the needs of all those in the community seeking assistance.
The First Presbyterian Church in Mexico, located at 4361 Church Street, has an Open Pantry Program that is open on the third Saturday of the month from September through June each year. The hours are from 1:00 - 2:00 p.m. There are no restrictions as to eligibility to receive assistance from this Pantry. The Church requires individuals seeking assistance to appear in person versus sending a proxy on their behalf. The Pantry provides for as many households as possible with distributions to one individual per household so that all may receive nourishing bags of food. The Pantry is prayerfully sponsored and overseen by the Board of Deacons from the Church. For more information regarding donations to the Pantry or for dates of distribution, please call the Church office at 315-963-7902.
In addition, this year's Food Drive again gave us an opportunity to help our fur friends at the Oswego City Animal Shelter and the Oswego County SPCA, by providing them with much needed pet food and supplies.
The Oswego City Animal Shelter is located at 621 East Seneca Street, Oswego, New York. For more information regarding donations to the Shelter, please call the Shelter at 315-343-1803 or email them at tailwags46@gmail.com. If you are interested in adopting a pet, please submit your application to: https://docs.google.com/.../1FAIpQLScxxBTltUY0Oy.../viewform.
The Oswego County SPCA is located at 357 State Street, Fulton, New York. For more information regarding donations to the SPCA, please call 315-297-4900 or email them at OswegoCountySPCA1@gmail.com. If you are interested in adopting or fostering a pet, please visit their website: https://www.oswegocountyspca.org/contact.html to fill out the appropriate application. Monetary donations can be mailed directly to Oswego County SPCA, PO Box 442, Fulton, NY 13069. For all other donations, please contact the SPCA directly to make arrangements for a pick-up or drop-off date.
Our heart-felt thanks to all who helped with donations to the Comets' Annual Food and Pet Supply Drive. There is always a need in our community, so please continue to help support all the local food pantries and shelters."
