Emergency Shelter Pet Food Donation

Partner Description

The Salvation Army's mission is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name without discrimination. The Salvation Army's Adult Rehabilitation Centers (ARCs) provide residential recovery programs for individuals seeking to deal with substance abuse and other addictions. They seek to help participants regain self-worth, learn how to build an orderly and disciplined life and become contributing members of society. Each program participant is provided with a clean and healthy living environment, nutritious food, group and individual counseling, spiritual direction, work therapy assignments, and recreational activities.
Need
Keep beloved pets and their owners together during a critical transition! For individuals experiencing homelessness, a pet is often their closest companion, providing unconditional love, safety, and emotional stability. Many emergency shelters now allow residents to bring their furry family members, but supplying pet food can be a stressful financial burden. Your donation ensures these animals stay fed, healthy, and securely by their owners' sides.
More Details
This is a wonderful, highly practical opportunity for individuals, families, or groups to fulfill during their regular grocery or pet supply runs. You will purchase standard, high-quality dog or cat food and wellness items to help support the shelter's resource pantry.

Estimated Cost: Approx. $15 – $40 (Based on local Southern California pricing for standard dry kibble bags or cases of canned food at stores like Target, Walmart, or local pet supply shops).

Highly Requested Items: Small-to-medium bags of dry dog/cat food, cases of canned wet food, and simple pet treats.

A full breakdown of drop-off instructions and coordination details will be sent directly to your inbox as soon as you sign up!
