Fort Wayne local raising pet food donations for birthday milestone

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WPTA) - Rachelle Reinking is asking the community to help her raise 30,000 pounds of pet food in 30 days for Humane Fort Wayne’s Pet Food Pantry.

The pet food drive will run from November 26 until December 26th which is Reinking’s 30th birthday.
