Pet Pantries, a new Maryland nonprofit<br />

corporation, recently formed to support<br />

pets in need on the Eastern Shore. <strong>The</strong><br />

COATINGS LLC<br />

nonprofit with 501 c 3 pending on Maryland’s<br />

Eastern Shore assisting multiple Humane<br />

pet food pantries.<br />

“We founded Pet Pantries after reading<br />

a heart-wrenching front-page story last<br />

supplies come in.”<br />

Humane organizations typically have<br />

two separate food supplies: one to feed the<br />

Humane’s pets internally and one to provide<br />

food for the public. Pet Pantries works<br />

to stock the public food pantry, serving pet<br />

owners who have fallen on hard times during<br />

challenging economical times.<br />

“We have over 200 people using our<br />
