C.F.A.P is an organization providing temporary pet food assistance to the economically challenged, disabled and the elderly citizens of Central Florida.

My son and I had gone out looking for a new dog one Saturday. We already have a wonderful dog, Brandi, but wanted to try and help out the shelters by getting another.

As we walked through the shelter my son started to get upset. He looked up at me and said, "There are so many." He was right. The shelters are overwhelmed. Petfinder and other such websites are full of dogs and cats that need homes. Many of which are just the product of economical times.

Feeling horrible for all the animals and the family's that missed them we went home. That night we both were unable to sleep. Tossing and turning all night both of us feeling the need to do something.

Sunday morning I was reading the paper and my son came and sat with me. He told me; "We need to feed the dog's." Not our dog, ALL dogs! Suddenly, I pictured myself making kibble in the kitchen. He was right. We need to feed the dogs and try to keep them at home with their family.

After some thought, and some research we decided on an Animal Pantry. My son, who is nine, thought this was a great idea. Being the good Cub Scout that he is, he started thinking of ways his Pack and classmates could help. Food drives!

We hope you will join in our efforts to feed Central Florida pet's and keep them with their families through these difficult times.
