Services & Projects
Paws On Wheels
We use donated dog and cat food or donated funds to provide Williamson County's elderly recipients of the Meals on Wheels program food for their pets. Food such as bird seed and dog and cat treats are packaged by volunteers at Williamson County Animal Control and delivered to four Meals on Wheels sites, who then deliver to the residents on their routes. Orders go out the first of each month.
Contact us if you are interested in donating or volunteering for this or any other program or call WCAC at (615) 790-5590.
