'It's something you don't think about,' Jennings says. The nonprofit serves seniors in Dallas County, ages 67 and up, with incomes of $1,200 or less per month. In 2018, SPAN volunteers delivered 662 bags and 3,804 cans of pet food and 64 buckets of kitty litter and provided veterinary assistance for more than 60 animals, including one bird. Today, SPAN is powered by private donations and staffed with about 30 volunteers and a recently added paid director.
