Nunn was the founder of the Pet Food Center. ‘We are proud to be partnering with Home Instead Senior Care for this very important fundraising event”, Stepto said. “Every little bit helps, so we invite everyone with a four legged friend who could use a bath to come out on the 24th to support this great cause.”
