Alison Smith started Atti's Eats Pet Food and Supplies Pantry to provide pet food, pet supplies, and other assistance with the animals of people living in poverty and homelessness. Atti's Eats operates largely out of a trailer that Alison brings to locations where the food and supplies are distributed such as a location where free meals are offered.
Margaret Miles was the interviewer and Catherine ten Broeke was the photographer. Photos were taken on Alison's farm where her trailer is kept between distribution events.
