A pet food pantry distribution is set for Thursday afternoon at the Columbus Municipal Airport.

Friends of Columbus Animal Care Services will be holding their Furry Friends Food Bank giveaway from 4 to 5:30 p.m. or until the food runs out. The pet food will be distributed in the airport parking lot at 4770 Ray Boll Boulevard in front of the Charlie 119 cargo plane.

Cat food will be distributed in 4.5 pound bags and dog food in 14.5 pound bags. If you take part you should stay in your vehicle and the food will be brought to you.

Organizers say the purpose of the pantry is to assist community members in need to keep their pets in their homes and out of area shelters.

Friends of Columbus Animal Care Services is the non-profit partner of the city-operated animal shelter.
