The Kalamazoo Humane Society says demand for its pet food bank has gone up during the COVID-19 pandemic. KHS says it gave out more than 50,000 pounds of dog and cat food and litter to pet owners in need in 2020. It distributed a similar amount the year before, but to a smaller number of people. Director of Community Connections Julie Barber told WMUK that during the pandemic, the pet food bank has seen many new customers.
