How to apply for PAWS — Supplemental Pet Food for Homebound Seniors (Crawford County) in Pennsylvania
Active Aging, Inc. (Crawford County Area Agency on Aging)
Who it's for
PAWS gives free pet food to homebound older adults in Crawford County who get home-delivered meals. It exists because many older people share their own meals with their pets when money is tight — and since home-delivered meals now come with lower calorie counts, sharing can leave the person short of the nutrition they need. A supplemental supply of pet food keeps the pet fed so you can eat your own meal. Ask Active Aging about PAWS when you arrange home-delivered meals.
PAWS is aimed at homebound older adults already receiving Active Aging's home-delivered meals, and it is funded by donations rather than a government grant — the agency fundraises about $1,000 a month to run it — so supply depends on donations and it may not always be open to new households.
