Fuzzy Friends History.
In 2008 the church was helping raise money and donations for the local rescue centers. While John, founder, was working at the Forsyth County Animal shelter, he learned that people with low incomes typically surrender their animals when they cannot afford to feed them. Unfortunately, their pets are surrendered to the animal shelter where many end up being euthanized. He had an idea and in 2008 he led a committee at St Anne’s to explore how to help these animals. In 2017 with the help of St Anne's Episcopal Church, the Fuzzy Friends Pet Food Pantry was started as a new ministry. The idea was “help prevent people from having to surrender their pets because they could not afford to feed them" and to date, Fuzzy Friends Pet Food Pantry has helped feed thousands of pets. It is also the largest pet food pantry in a church in North Carolina.
