1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,680
Speaker 1: You may have to make a decision do I take

2
00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: care of my animal or do I take care of me?

3
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 2: Well, SNAP food benefits hang in the balance. Candy Finch,

4
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,559
Speaker 2: owner of Dirty Dog Wash Grooming and Norwood, is accepting

5
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 2: pet food donations through her Charlie's Angels initiative.

6
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 3: You know, Snap's coming to an end. People are getting

7
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,319
Speaker 3: people are getting furloughed. It makes it difficult for people.

8
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: So we're trying to help with that as much as

9
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: we possibly can.

10
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 2: Norwood PD Chief Chris Patten says the department is stepping

11
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 2: in with human food.

12
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 4: I grew up my mom raised five kids on her own,

13
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 4: and my dad was an alcoholic and he had left,

14
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 4: and you know, we needed help when I was a

15
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:33,919
Speaker 4: young kid, and I'll never forget that.

16
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 2: The local pantry has been overwhelmed with donations, so they're

17
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 2: storing food in the lobby and just one day, NPD

18
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 2: filled the juvenile holding cell full of soup, cans, noodles,

19
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 2: you name it.

20
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 4: And we will work in conjunction with them. We will

21
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 4: sort out the things that they need and help get

22
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,840
Speaker 4: them to them, but we're not going to turn anything away.
