Wilde Meyer Gallery Helps Cody’s Friends, and You Can Too!

March-April bracelet sales benefit Cody’s Friends. Cody’s Friends is a 501(c)(3) non-profit started by Cody Allen in 2011 when he was 10 years old. Cody’s Friends supports the crucial bond between human and animal welfare. Those in need will do all they can for their pet…even if it means feeding them their own food. Thousands of people in need in Pima County depend on Cody’s Friends for pet food. Over 48 human service agencies and 100+ animal rescue groups and shelters also come to Cody’s Friends for pet food and supplies.

Little Papi brought his mom to Cody’s Friends for pet food, supplies and a warm blanket. The cost of pet food has never been higher and pet food donations are down nationwide, so Cody’s Friends buys 4-5 pallets per week. They work with 48 human service organizations including food banks, soup kitchens, first responders, Meals on Wheels and more. These organizations have become Cody’s Friends satellite outposts for pet food. If you are in need, and can’t get to our building, there should be a food bank in your area with pet food from Cody’s Friends.

Also during March and April, Wilde Meyer Gallery is partnering with Cody’s Friends to help feed pets in need in our community. Today through March 31st, you have the opportunity to BUY IT NOW on over 25 exquisite, original pieces of artwork, beautiful fine jewelry, home décor and more. Remaining pieces will go to a Silent Auction on April 1st from 1-4 p.m. at Wilde Meyer Gallery – 2890 E Skyline Dr #170. They’ll also be collecting pet food, and open bags are accepted!

You can help Cody’s Friends provide food for more deserving pets like little Papi by purchasing one-of-a-kind, handcrafted Beading Divas bracelets.

Cost per bracelet is $20. The bracelets make great gifts anytime of year!  The best selection is online via Etsy but in Tucson you can also buy bracelets at Fuchsia Spa in La Encantada Shopping Center, and Silver Sea Jewelry, in the historic 4^th Avenue Shopping District. Silver Sea is open Tuesday-Sunday from noon-6pm (masks and social distancing required.)
