The Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons will hold its next Pet Food Pantry event on Jan. 16.
Donations of food, for both cats and dogs, will be welcomed, and ARF will distribute pet food to community members needing it. Both donations and distribution will take place on that day, a Saturday, from noon to 3 p.m. at 124 Daniels Hole Road in Wainscott.
Bags and cans of wet and dry food or treats must be unopened. Social distancing will be observed, and ARF has asked that all visitors wear masks.
Sensational mentions of a flesh-eating bacterium aside, the State of the Bays symposium at the Stony Brook Southampton campus offered dire news regarding degraded waterways and climate change.
The Vibrio vulnificus “flesh eating” bacterium “is not unusual in warm saltwater or brackish environments and does not necessarily indicate pollution or a widespread public health emergency,” the Southampton Town Trustees said in an advisory issued following a social media post that went viral.
