VERO BEACH — Longtime Vero Beach resident and designer William Bainbridge Steele will be hosting a Christmas pet food drive for The Humane Society of Vero Beach and Indian River County (HSVBIRC).
The pet food drive runs from Saturday, Nov. 15 through Christmas Eve. Donations of dry and canned pet food donations as well as pet toys and monetary gifts can be brought to Steele’s new location at 3402 Ocean Drive in Vero Beach between 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
“I’m doing this because of my love for the animals,” said Steele, who also volunteers for The Humane Society. “I’m trying to raise awareness that animals, especially during the holidays, need food and love as well,” he added.
The Humane Society is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping the animals of Indian River County and is located at 6230 77th St., Vero Beach.
