The Foxy Fund celebrates National Pet Month & One Year
During the month of May, Senior Solutions will be celebrating the first anniversary of our expanded “Foxy Fund” by promoting a major fund drive to enhance the program. The Foxy Fund began many years ago as a way to help seniors pay their pets’ veterinary bills. The story of how that started with a client named Karl can be found here. Then, in the spring of 2022, Senior Solutions received a $20,000 grant from PetSmart Charities which enabled us to greatly expand the fund to include monthly deliveries of pet food to our clients who receive Home Delivered Meals. As of May 1st, this service is now available throughout our entire service area.
