John Legend launched a food pantry in Long Beach, California for homeless people and their furry friends.
The food pantry is located at The Long Beach multi-service center that offers employment, housing and healthcare for the homeless, according to abc7 news.
“When we think about people who are experiencing homelessness, a lot of times they are thought of as a problem or as an eyesore or something that is a blight on the city,” the Grammy-winning singer/songwriter said. “But they’re human beings and they need love, they need care and they need all the help we can afford to give them. And one of the things that helps them so much is having their little fur friends.
The pantry is stocked with Kismet, a dog food that John Legend co-founded alongside Dr Kwame Stewart, a veterinarian that treats abandoned pets in LA’s Skid Row.
“We wanted to create the best dog food on the market and then also provide welfare for some of the neediest pets out there,” Stewart said.
Let’s keep helping the fur babies.
