Why We Walk
Every step you take helps feed pets in need and the people who love them. All proceeds support Long Island Cares’ Pet Pantry and hunger relief programs that serve both two-legged and four-legged members of our community.
The Impact
“One of the things I’m most grateful for is the support they provide for my two dogs—Wavy D. Gravy, and Arctic Puff. Because of Long Island Cares, I’m able to keep them healthy and cared for.”
Those are the words Geri shared when talking about Long Island Cares’ Baxter’s Pet Pantry. Because of the support she receives through the pantry, Geri is able to keep her beloved dogs healthy, fed, and cared for during difficult times.
