Your Generosity Supports Anival and Gus

Food has always been a big part of Anival’s life. He remembers his first job at his parents’ motel, where he helped in the restaurant kitchen at just 14.

Now retired from a career in restaurant management, Anival lives with mobility limitations including frozen shoulder. The condition can make it hard to manage daily chores, like cooking and caring for his beloved cat, Gus, a Russian Blue that Anival rescued from the streets.

That’s why he’s so grateful for FeedMore WNY programs, like Home-Delivered Meals for him and AniMeals for Gus. They make a huge difference.

Five days a week, Anival receives a delivery of two healthy meals, one hot and one cold, easing both his physical and financial burden and helping him keep up with a busy schedule of doctor’s appointments. And once a month, a delivery of cat food ensures that Gus remains healthy and has a full belly, too.

“I have been receiving [AniMeals] for probably close to seven years,” Anival says gratefully.

Gus’ companionship is critical for Anival’s well-being, reducing stress and feelings of isolation, while providing a wonderful source of entertainment. Anival gives Gus a safe home and lots of love.

With your support, FeedMore WNY’s Home Delivered Meals and AniMeals programs continue to deliver food and comfort where they are needed most.
