Did you know that the JHS Pet Food Pantry distributes more than 170,000 lbs of pet food to families in need each year? Our Pet Food Pantry serves seniors, community members with disabilities, veterans, and families in crisis.

Sometimes the only difference between keeping a pet in their home and out of the shelter is one meal. With your help, we can keep best friends together and save space in our shelter for animals who are lost, abandoned, or neglected.

As a Pantry Pal, you will receive a special acknowledgment on our social media to let our 90,000+ followers know about your good deed and help raise exposure for our program.
