CARSON CITY, NV, UNITED STATES, September 29, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- What started more than a decade ago as a local challenge at Michael Hohl Chevy Buick GMC Cadillac in Carson City, Nev., has grown into a multi-state movement. Each October, dealerships rally their communities to Fill a Vehicle with pet food in support of Feeding Pets of the Homeless, the first and only national nonprofit focused exclusively on feeding and providing emergency veterinary care to pets of people experiencing homelessness.

“Michael Hohl’s leadership in Carson City has inspired a ripple effect that is now spreading across the Southwest,” said Genevieve Frederick, founder and president of Feeding Pets of the Homeless. “These dealerships are uniting their communities to make a difference for pets who are often the only source of comfort and stability for people experiencing homelessness.”

How the Public Can Help

Members of the public are encouraged to bring unopened bags or cans of dog or cat food to any participating dealership during the month of October. Each showroom will feature a vehicle ready to be filled with donations. Collected food will be distributed to local organizations that serve people experiencing homelessness and their companion animals.

“Together, we can keep pets fed, healthy, and by the side of the people who love them most,” Frederick said.
