Beet Hunger : What's New And What's Coming Up - March 2022

Clubs and Organizations

March 7, 2023

From: Treasure Coast Food Bank

Pet Food Pantry

For many of us, our pets are our family members. They provide love, comfort and so much more, so it is important for local pet parents that their animals have the proper nutrition that they need to thrive. In many circumstances, when pet owners are food insecure, they may also need assistance providing for their dogs and cats. That’s where Treasure Coast Food Bank’s pet pantry comes in. Through our partnership with local organizations, we are able to distribute pet food and pet products to people and animals in need. 

In late January 2023, we partnered with PetSmart Charities to distribute more than 12 pallets of Dog and Cat food to local animal shelters on the Treasure Coast. Some of these shelters include: The Humane Society of St. Lucie County, Okeechobee Animal Control, Aftermath Ranch Rescue, Sunny Side Up Rescue, Fort Pierce Animal Adoption Center, and Delilah’s 2nd Chance Rescue. Thank you to PetSmart Charities for helping us to feed our furry friends in need!

If you are in need, visit our website stophunger.org/findhelp to find a Pet Pantry partner agency near you.

Want to support this program? You can help by donating pet food or by organizing a fundraiser.

Empty Bowls is around the corner

One of the biggest community collaborations to fight hunger – the St. Lucie County Empty Bowls Project – will be marking its 15th year on Saturday, March 11th at the Downtown Fort Pierce Farmers’ Market. More than 500 ceramic bowls hand-crafted by St. Lucie County public and private school students will be on display at the Farmers’ Market. For a $25 donation, patrons may select the bowl of their choice, along with a serving of tasty soup donated by area restaurants.
