"I am embarrassed and ashamed to tell you this, but I have had to steal cat food to ensure Molly is fed. I am a senior that has never done anything like this in my life. But these days it's survival. I was so grateful to learn about your pet food bank"
This is the reality we see daily. Seniors, families, individuals facing medical challenges, and people experiencing financial hardship who are desperately trying to keep their pets fed and at home. At the end of the day it could be anyone of us.
The need is growing faster than ever and our donations overall are down 41.2% from last year. This isn't a small amount. This is a "we are worried about the future of our organization" amount. I know there are so many asks out there, and many are numb trying to keep up. If you align with our mission and can support us - the following options are very impactful and appreciated.
