People love their pets, and research shows that pets help to keep us healthy and live longer. Amen to that. That’s the premise behind Meals on Wheels and More’s PALS program – Pets Assisting the Lives of Seniors. In collaboration with Emancipet, the PALS program helps keep healthy the pets who are cherished companions to their homebound and elderly clients. But they need your help! A donation to the PALS program helps pets and people. Contact the program at 476-6325 or pals@mealsonwheelsandmore.org.
