MWHS Community Outreach Program
In August 2003, the MetroWest Humane Society instituted a community outreach program for people who need assistance in adequately feeding the cats in their care.
The residents in the MetroWest area have been extremely generous with food donations to MWHS, which in turn enables us to enhance our services to the community. Initially, this program was started in the towns of Framingham and Ashland, with the hope of expanding to neighboring towns. Currently food packets can be found in the SMOC MetroWest Harvest Food Pantry at 300 Howard Street in Framingham (this is in the old Dennison Building), and in the Senior Center building at the corner of Olive Street and Route 136 in Ashland.
The dry food we receive ranges from 1-pound boxes to 20-pound bags, which we then repackage into smaller quart-size zip-lock bags, each of which equals a box of dry cat food if it were purchased over the counter. The bags are identified with the brand of food enclosed along with a contact number, should someone need assistance in spaying or neutering his/her pet. When moist and semi-moist food is available, that is also included in the program.
