What started as an online community is now celebrating a milestone.

Since September 2007, The Pikes Peak Pet Pantry, located in Colorado Springs, has given out 2,097 pounds of dog and cat food to pet owners needing temporary assistance.

The Pantry started when the founder asked an online community for some dog food to help a person feed their dog.

Donations from other pet owners are what fill the shelves of the Pantry.
