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!

Empty Bowls is around the corner
