Love Dahlia is thrilled to support the Livingston County Pet Pantry’s Shoe Drive Fundraiser!
This amazing local nonprofit helps families in need keep their pets fed and healthy.
In 2024 alone, they:
- Distributed 40,013 lbs of pet food
- Filled 1,038 assistance requests
- Supported 321 families
- Helped feed 1,771 animals
Now, from July 21 to September 21, you can help by donating gently worn shoes of any kind. Through a partnership with Funds2Orgs, these shoes will be shipped overseas—and every pair helps raise money to buy pet food for the pantry!
Let’s turn shoes into meals and make a real difference for pets and families in Livingston County!

November
Event in the works: Finding Glimmers
November is the anniversary that will be a trigger for many people, so we want to encourage others to find a glimmer of hope and joy.
What is a glimmer?
"Glimmers are tiny micro moments of joy—fleeting, everyday moments that elicit a rush of happiness, gratitude, calm, peace, safety, or goodwill. Some examples of glimmers include: Spotting a rainbow. Hearing your favorite song in the grocery store. Feeling the warmth of the sun on your skin."
