Volunteer Help
As the Pet Food Project has grown and more people are becoming aware of what we do, we are getting more requests to collect donations. This is wonderful and we want to continue growing so more people donate.
However we need volunteers to help us collect donations so we can keep the supply chain of pet food going as fast as possible. It’s important for us to be able to keep a steady flow of pet food going into pet food banks and animal shelters so they can maintain their care to pets and families that need it.
If you can help out we would be very grateful! Any time you can give voluntarily to The Pet Food Project will make a huge difference.
We’re a not for profit community interest company. Every single donation goes directly to the cause.
