Humane Society Pet Food Pantry

Category: Food

Free pet food and straw for outdoor bedding is provided to pet owners in need.  Items are made possible by donations from the public, so supplies are limited, and are available on a first come, first served basis.

The program does not require proof of income, but participants are limited to donations every two weeks.  No pre-registration is required, but pet owners will be asked to provide their name and the number and type of pets that the donated food and/or straw will support.
