Where can I find people to donate pet food to the Humane Society that I work for?
November 14th, 2009
We are in great need of all sorts of donations all around! We especially need donations of pet food for cats and dogs. Ive been working there a month and with the economy being so bad we are getting more animals than we adopt on average. Are there any petfood or other companies that would be willing to help out our shelter to keep these animals feed and off of the streets? Most of our income is donations and the economy has decreased the number of donations that we are recieving.
any suggestions?
Contact your local feed stores, box stores, grocery stores or other places that sell dog and cat food. Many of these places get broken bags of food that they cannot sell. Often they will donate that food to an animal shelter. You cannot be picky as to the brand or type. We gave each store three big trash cans. One for dog food, one for cat food, and one for cat litter. We would pick them up whenever the store called us telling us that they were full. This food also helps many people in our community as our shelter also has a pet food bank.

Maybe on Facebook. Try posting an add for monetary donations through paypal and item donations through drop off. BTW- where is your shelter located?

I agree with the first post. Try facebook, or myspace. Maybe try calling around a few pet stores or petfood companies and ask if they do donations. Where are you located?
