The first floor of the library is not only a place for students to study but also a drop off for cat and dog food donations. The Honors Program’s service committee is collecting donations for the Preventing Euthanasia Through Sterilization Clinic as part of one of their community service acts. 

Amanda Threlkeld, accounting sophomore and co-leader for the volunteer sub-committe  said, the Redwine Honors Program decided to do a service event with PETS to highlight the business and bring more awareness. 

“The Clinic is not well known, so we wanted to be able to spread the word while supporting them through donations and helping animals in the Wichita Falls community,” said Threlkeld. 

Co-chair for the honors service sub-committee, Camille Khan radiologic technology senior, said they’ve been taking donations for more than a week and already delivered two bins full of cat and dog food. 

“Our goal is to collect as much food as possible to stock their pantry, so far we’ve had over 25 people donate,” Khan said.

PETS Clinic isn’t a service act the Honors are usually involved in, but Khan said their pantry is what caught their attention. 

“As an Honors Program, we value our community service projects and this semester we wanted to do things we normally don’t do. So, the service committee picked the PETS Clinic for a food drive. Their pantry is open to anyone in the community to come by and get food for their pets in need, but it’s stocked solely on donations,” Khan said.

Members of the Redwine Honors Program have donation buckets.

Haley Ferrell, general business freshman said, students outside of the Honors program are more than welcome to bring whatever they can.
