Bonus: You’ll also meet Emancipet’s Philadelphia team and get a tour of their new clinic in Houston’s Monroe Medical Plaza. Double bonus: There'll be a dog-inspired Tito’s Handmade Vodka cocktail demonstration and a pet talent show (with dog and cat tricks). So order in, pack a lunch, or prep a picnic for you and your favorite domestic mammal – just be sure to tune in for a good pet-affirming time. Fri., May 14, noon.

RED BEANS AND RICELY YOURS, AUSTIN This community initiative, headed by Chris Cubas and Maris Clegg, is dedicated to providing free meals (of red beans and rice, andouille sausage, cornbread, fruit, dessert, and a drink) to Austinites in need. "On Tuesdays, we will provide a link to sign up for a free home-made meal delivered to you with safety in mind," goes their announcement on Facebook. "There is no judgment and the form is anonymous. If you have been affected by the impact of Covid-19 or are having a hard time, we would like to make a small portion of your day a little bit better." Or, if you'd like to donate your time in driving, baking treats, or providing cases of nonalcoholic beverages, please reach out to [email protected]. redbeansaustin.com
