Happy National Dog Day!
With the hot temperatures expected this week, it`s important to remember how the heat can affect our pets. Animals can suffer from heatstroke in just 15 minutes, and cracking the car windows won`t help. NEVER leave your pets in parked vehicles. Keep them safe and cool!

A message from our CEO, Nate Kloster:
On Wednesday, July 31, it was a privilege to ride along with Cohen Barnes, Mayor of the City of DeKalb, Illinois, as he volunteered to deliver Meals on Wheels. Cohen approached me at our 50th anniversary celebration event in May and asked if he could volunteer to deliver our meals.
It was truly an honor to spend time with Cohen and share details about our program. It was fun to watch the joyful expressions of our clients as Cohen delivered the meals. Thank you to the brave ones who let me take their picture!
