Imagine a day where the community comes together, not just in spirit but in action. On March 1, 2024, Fort Bragg will witness such a day. The Fort Bragg Food Bank, known for its tireless service, is taking an extra step toward community well-being by offering an array of free pet supplies. In the same breath of generosity, the 36th Annual Whale Run is calling for volunteers to help make the event a success. This is a tale of two events, each demonstrating the power of community and the shared love for our furry friends and fellow residents.
Free Pet Supplies: A Community Care Covenant
From 11:00 am to 2:00 pm at the Fort Bragg Food Bank, local residents have a unique opportunity to receive a variety of free pet supplies. Offerings include Vectra 3D flea/tick repellent for dogs, collars, leashes, toys, treats, beds, coats, and more. This initiative is a beacon of hope and support for pet owners who may be facing financial challenges, ensuring that their beloved companions are well cared for without the burden of additional cost. No appointment is necessary, making this event accessible to all who wish to share in the generosity on display.
36th Annual Whale Run: A Call for Volunteers
In the same spirit of community involvement, the 36th Annual Whale Run is seeking volunteers. Tasks include setup, assistance during the race, and clean-up, with activities starting at 6:30 am and ending at 1:00 pm This event is not just a race; it is a celebration of endurance, both of the human spirit and of the majestic whales it honors. Interested individuals are encouraged to contact Jenn Garrison at [email protected] for more information on how to contribute. Volunteers play an important role in ensuring the success of the event, and this is a great opportunity for residents to get involved and make a difference.
A Community That Stands Together
These events, although different in nature, have a common goal: to strengthen ties within the community. Giving away free pet supplies is a gesture that goes beyond physical items; it is a message of unity and support. Similarly, volunteering for the Whale Run is more than just lending a hand; it’s part of something bigger, a tradition that celebrates the life, endurance, and beauty of our natural environment. The story of Fort Bragg on March 1, 2024, is one of unity, goodwill, and a collective effort to positively impact both individual lives and the community at large.
