NORFOLK, VA – High gas prices, rising food costs and increased living expenses are putting the squeeze on household budgets everywhere. Norfolk Animal Care & Adoption Center (NACC) doesn’t want residents to struggle to feed their pets. Thanks to the Friends of Norfolk Animal Care Center’s (FNACC) Pet Pantry, NACC can provide that lifeline to families facing hardship. Now, with the help of Norfolk Public Library, the Pet Pantry program is expanding to make it easier and more accessible by bringing resources right into the community.
Once a month, NACC’s Waggin’ Wheels Mobile Pet Pantry will bring free pet food, resources, and engagement opportunities to a different Norfolk Public Library anchor branch. FNACC is funding the new initiative.
The first Pet Pantry stop is on April 8 from noon to 2 p.m. at the Jordan-Newby Anchor Branch Library at Broad Creek.
Waggin’ Wheel’s Mobile Pet Pantry will stop at the following locations and dates, from noon to 2 p.m.:
April 8, May 13, July 8, October 14
Jordan-Newby Anchor Branch Library at Broad Creek
1425 Norchester Ave.
June 10, September 9, December 9
Mary D. Pretlow Anchor Branch Library
111 W. Ocean View Ave.

We hope you enjoy this month’s issue — packed with neighborhood news, the CPRV Community Yard Sale map, autumn drink recipes, and fun “Color Me” activities. Here’s to a safe, spirited, and community-filled September!
It was great to welcome our members and guests this month—and to remind everyone that our civic league meetings are open to all neighbors. Vice President Gene Ward noted that while turnout was strong, there’s still room to grow. Please invite a friend or neighbor to join us for our next meeting on September 8.
Red, White & ZOOM! July’s Bike Parade rolled through Riverview and Colonial Place, ending in a popsicle social. We also made strides on streetlight outages—thanks to our Civic League and neighbors for taking action. Plus: Mack’s Barge updates, Leila’s ABC request, and a newsletter full of fun.
