Due to the coronavirus pandemic, food insecurity is up 46%. This impacts many aspects of our lives, including the pets we love. In response to this new reality, many organizations have opened and expanded pet pantry programs.
A pet pantry is a community program supporting pet parents and keeping animals in loving homes. These programs offer pet supplies and care to families in need.
These programs are essential to keep loved pets out of overcrowded shelters and keep families together. This means local shelters can focus on animals in need of homes.
Community Aid
Pet pantries are important resources year round for many members of their communities. The supplies on their shelves support veterans, domestic violence survivors, and can be essential in disaster relief. When fires, floods, or hurricanes strike, pet pantries serve as a safety net to those with family animals.
How to Help
Donations to pet pantries are transferred directly into the hands of those most in need. With so many stray, neglected, and abused animals in need, loved family pets should never end up in shelters because of temporary economic hardship.
Donate a meal to a pet pantry today to keep food bowls full.
