A Lancashire-based pet company has donated over 6,500 meals to Accrington-based animal charity, RSPCA Lancashire East.
Animal charities like the RSPCA have been drastically impacted by the pandemic, partly due to factors such as the closure of charity shops, cancelling fundraising events and donors having less disposable income due to furloughs and job losses.
The 348 boxes of food donated by Webbox will help to feed the 20 dogs and rabbits currently in RSPCA Lancashire East’s care.
Ken Harrison, Branch Manager at RSPCA Lancashire East, said: “We rely entirely on the donations of local people and businesses like Webbox to enable us to continue caring for and feeding vulnerable animals.
“The team and our animals are extremely grateful to Webbox for their generosity at such a challenging time for our charity. It really has made a huge difference and it’s fantastic to see the animals enjoying their lovely treats!”
Camille Ashforth, Senior Brand Manager at Webbox, said: “The work that the RSPCA do in caring for and rehoming animals is incredible, and we’re proud to have played a small part in helping them in these unprecedented circumstances.
“We are proud to support local RSPCA branches like Lancashire East in various different ways, and we look forward to continuing our relationship with them.”
