JOHNSTOWN — For Courtney Saler, the Arbutus Church of the Brethren pet food pantry is helping to feed her four-legged companions.
“This is amazing,” the Windber resident said Saturday at a distribution held at the church in Richland Township. “Giving out pet food for people in need is awesome. If you need help, this is where to come to get that help.”
