UPDATE: A free pet vaccination event hosted by Lollypop Farm has drawn an overwhelming turnout in Rochester, NY, demonstrating a critical need for accessible pet healthcare services. On Tuesday, October 28, 2025, long lines formed outside The People’s Pantry on Avenue D as families sought vaccinations and resources for their furry companions.
Residents lined up early in the morning, eager to take advantage of the free vaccinations, pet supplies, and expert advice from Lollypop’s veterinary team. The event reflects the significant demand for such services in the community. “We get great turnout for these events, which really speaks to the need for these resources,” said Sean Farnsworth, communications director at Lollypop Farm.
The emotional impact of this initiative was echoed by Char Cordone, executive director of The People’s Pantry. “Our furry friends are just as much a part of our family as their human counterparts,” she stated, highlighting the importance of supporting pets just as much as their owners. “I’m happy to see this many people here taking care of their fur kids.”

Farnsworth noted, “We’ve now helped thousands of pet owners and look forward to expanding our outreach next year.” This proactive approach not only helps keep pets healthy but also supports families in maintaining their beloved companions.
