Pet Food Pantry

If you need assistance providing food for your pets, we’re here to support you.

We have all been there. Maybe it’s a lost job, increased bills, foreclosure or times are just tough. We know you love your pet and want to take care of it. Whether it’s food insecurity or lack of income, people will often feed their pets before they feed themselves.

We want to help. If you need assistance to feed your pets, please contact us. We have a pet food pantry and give out food once a month to those in our program.

We do require proof of hardship (EBT card w/award letter, Medicaid card w/award letter, SSI paperwork or proof of other low income w/a valid photo ID.) You must provide the award letter from the state or county to qualify and you must show proof that you live in Portage County, OH.

Times are hard enough. Please come in to get set up on the program. You will receive a punch card that you will have to bring with you each month. There is also a contract to sign. You may visit the pet panty Tuesdays 12-3pm or Saturdays 12-2pm. It is not meant to provide all the food your pet needs, but to help supplement until you can provide it yourself. Our goal is that everyone can get some instead of none.
