Calgarians are well-known for their community spirit, and despite the novel coronavirus crisis, that spirit was extended to include pets Saturday.
More than 3,500 pounds of pet food and donations were collected during a pet food drive on April 4 and delivered to the Calgary Food Bank. “Being an essential business, we’ve been very fortunate,” Malmberg said. “This crisis hasn’t affected us as much as a lot of companies, a lot of people.
So we just wanted to do something.” After hearing of a shortage of pet food donations at the Calgary Food Bank, Malmberg posted on social media April 1 that his store would be able to collect pet food and donations April 4.
