Charlie O'Hagan of Aberfeldy School is delighted to learn that her class initiative for a four-legged food drive is well supported by Whanganui people.
The food drive, which runs throughout November, calls for donations of tinned and dry pet food to be dropped off at Aberfeldy School, Hill St Greens or the SPCA in London St.
Charlie came up with the idea of a pet food drive when teacher Stacey McKenzie asked her class if there was a cause they would like to support.
SPCA general manager Danny Auger said all the pet food donations are very welcome and kitten food will be especially welcome.
"The SPCA relies on the generosity of people in our community to be able to help animals that need someone to care for them.
