Recently Lodge of Concord made a donation of £150 to Pets Pantry; The current economic situation has seen a rise in the number of food banks, but in the North East there is one with a difference, its clients are mostly four legged.

Pets Pantry is a pet food back based in Sunderland, aiming to help communities to feed their pets through difficult times.  They believe no pet should go hungry. When the Lodge of Concord No 6859 in Sunderland heard of this worthy charity they decided to make a donation to assist with the ongoing financial pressures. The photograph shows Wendy (Pets Pantry), receiving a cheque for £150.00 from Derek Robson, Junior Warden of the Lodge of Concord.  Standing second from the right is Michelle (Pawz for Thought) who was instrumental in arranging this donation.

Pawz for Thought are another Sunderland based animal charity, dealing with animal welfare issues such as re-housing, as well as contributing to Pets Pantry. For more information and details of these organisations, including how to donate and help, please contact:
