Cypress Creek Elementary Pet Food Drive – Kids Lend a Helping Hand to Their Furry Friends

Sophie's Circle works year round to provide food and rescue to dogs in Volusia County but our pet food bank relies on the generosity of our donors. Sometimes those donors go above and beyond to help out, for no other reason than that they love animals. For that reason, we wanted to call out and thank a special group of kids who worked hard to help animals and collect food for them.
On November 4th, 2016, the Cypress Creek Elementary hosted a pet food drive to collect food for Sophie's Circle, and the thousands of animals we help every year. This food will go towards helping the animals in our shelter until we find them homes, and towards helping families in need keep the animals they love.
The class, from Port Orange Florida, are in the third grade, and collected the food as part of a project under their teacher, Michelle Morrison Phelan.
"I have a lot of dogs that are a part of my family and I love them very much. My reason is so that they can have a home and live in peace. Maybe it's your turn to save a dog and you can be its loving and caring family." - Kendra
"Because I'd never want my dog in the shelter or any other dog to go to the shelter." - McKenna
Sophie's Circle collects pet food year round and we are forever indebted to our wonderful donors, like the third grade class from Cypress Creek.
