Bring your animal companions to the Courtyard for the Blessing of Animals. There will be treats for humans and animals. And, this year, we are collecting food and treats for PAWS--an organization that provides medical care and shelter for the animal friends of unhoused people. All are welcome.
----
*A note about PAWS: We're gathering pet food and supplies for PAW Team's pet food pantry. PAW Team is a local grassroots nonprofit dedicated to providing veterinary care, pet supplies, and wraparound care for over 3000 Portland-area families a year, many of whom are unhoused.
Please consider bringing pet supplies for donation to the Blessing of the Animals in the courtyard on Sunday, October 5th. Food and treats can be open or sealed, so if you have something at home that didn't work out for your pet, bring it in! Also consider new or gently used toys, leashes, beds, or other supplies so we can bless the animals who bless their humans.
