Our P.E.T. Pantry (Pets Eat, Too!) was founded in 2011 as a project with Scottsdale Leadership’s Class XXV and is housed at the Vista del Camino Food Bank. When families are facing food shortages, their pets often do, too. Families either then try to share people food with the pets, which is not meeting the nutritional needs of animals, or families allocate money for pet food and decrease the food purchased for themselves. Our P.E.T. Pantry alleviates that choice. For families qualified for food boxes, we also provide pet food for their animals.

Thanks to all of our supporters who wanted to make sure our furry family members are cared for as well, we have enough pet food donations in our pantry to last for the next five years! We would love to see our other programs at max capacity as well, so please consider dropping off in-kind donations to the Vista del Camino Food Bank.  Monetary donations are even more helpful as they allow us to fill the gaps in supplies for any program in our organization.
