Description
"BUY NOW" to donate $10 to purchase pet food for indigent families in our community. Your gift meets a critical need this time of year.
As part of the Humane Society of Southern Arizona's mission, our organization holds a monthly free pet food distribution for low-income families. Thousands of pounds of food are distributed each month to local families who might otherwise be forced to surrender their beloved pets to the shelter system. Often times, these families choose to go without a basic human need (like food or medicine) in order to provide for their pets, so this critically important program helps both pets and the people who love them.
Much of the food that is distributed comes from donation drives held for us by community groups, or from formal partnerships with large grocery, retail, tack and feed stores, and others that sell pet food. We work hard to make sure that a bag of food that might be damaged and unsellable (but otherwise good and nutritious) ends up helping a pet and not crowding a landfill.
However, the need always outpaces the item donations we receive. Since general fund support is not used for this program, we rely on designated gifts - like your gift here today - to allow us to buy pet food for those months we might have otherwise turn some or most of the families away because of a shortage.
Your cash donation to this fund also multiplies your gift - the $10 you might spend to buy a bag of pet food can instead be directly used by HSSA to work with our suppliers to buy significantly more food for that same $10.
Thank you for supporting our pet food program for indigent families!
