On Saturday, May 8, 2021, 11:30 a.m., philanthropic animal lovers will virtually “take off” for the 8th Annual Wags and Whiskers Brunch, benefiting Interfaith Ministries for Greater Houston’s Animeals program, which provides pet food, toys and preventative vet care to seniors with pets in the Meals on Wheels program.
The “Jet Set Pets” themed event hosted by Brunch Chair M.A. Shute along with lead sponsor Fred G. Marshall in loving memory of his wife Linda, will feature a pet fashion show, silent auction and more. Donning their best jet set or vintage attire, guests will enjoy an inspiring program emceed by Casey Curry from the comfort of their home. Boarding passes will give guests access to the virtual program and gourmet boxed lunches will be delivered using Interfaith Ministries’ home-delivery meal expertise.
Animeals was started more than 10 years ago when Interfaith Ministries’ Meals on Wheels drivers discovered that seniors in its Meals on Wheels for Greater Houston program were sharing their limited food and resources with their beloved four-legged friends. Today, Animeals provides free pet food and toys for more than 1,300 dogs and cats. Through continued partnerships with the Houston Humane Society, Emancipet and the Texas Veterinary Medical Foundation, Interfaith Ministries provides preventative medical care for animals in need including vaccinations and spay/neutering.
Animal lovers can prepare to take flight by purchasing an entire virtual row sponsorship or flight tickets for international and domestic fares at http://www.imgh.org/WWBRUNCH. Contact Brandi Ledet at bledet@imgh.org or call 713.533.4925 for more information.
