So who’s ready for more government handouts? The way this program is going, it wouldn’t be a surprise to us if there was a new version of Food Stamps on the way. The number of people in America on Food Stamps is now at an all-time high, but it’s not enough for this new nonprofit that is trying to make sure the entire family is in on the program. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) may be a federal program administered by the states, but many in New York feel as though it is not enough.

The new Pet Food Stamps program was created to “fill the void in the United States Food Stamp program which excludes the purchase of pet food and pet supplies. In these rough economic times, many pet owners are forced to abandon their beloved pet to the ASPCA, North Shore Animal League or other animal shelters due to the inability to pay for their basic food supply and care,” according to the organization’s website. The New York-based nonprofit helps pet owners who can’t support their animal friends.Scissors-32x32.png
