Pet Food Bank
No one should have to choose between feeding their pets and feeding their family. Our Pet Food Bank helps local pet owners by providing a supply of dog or cat food – so pets can stay right where they belong: at home, with the people who love them.
Eligibility Requirements
Our Pet Food Bank provides a one-month supply of cat or dog food to families in need, for up to one year. The Food Bank is designed to supplement the food you can provide your pets. We are unable to become a sole source of pet food.
To be eligible, you are required to provide proof of financial need, and ALL pets in the household must be spayed or neutered.
If your family financially qualifies for the Food Bank but your pet is not yet spayed or neutered, you may be eligible for our low/no cost spay/neuter surgeries:
In order to be sure there is enough food for all customers who have household pets, we are no longer able to provide food for feral cats/colonies.
