Pet Helpers Receives 40,000 lbs of Food for Distribution Event

This Saturday, May 13th, from 8 am to 11 am, Pet Helpers will host a Community Pet Food Distribution Event to help residents in the Lowcountry who may need additional support providing the necessary supplies to care for their beloved pets. This event was made possible with the donation of nearly 40,000 pounds (24 pallets) of food and supplies from Chewy and The Humane Society of the United States. 

“More pet owners are surrendering their animals because they can no longer afford to care for them with the rising costs of food and supplies,” said Melissa Susko, Executive Director. “The Community Distribution Day event allows us to help those individuals and families who could use a helping hand. We are thankful to Chewy and our partnership with the Humane Society of the United States for allowing us the opportunity to help our neighbors in need.” 

The Distribution Event will work as follows: 

• From 8 am to 11 am, pet supplies will be distributed
  • Come early, as there are limited quantities available on a first come, first serve basis
• The items available consist of dry/wet cat and dog food, litter, and pet treats
• Please stay in your car. A Pet Helpers team member will collect your information and bring the supplies to your car. Make sure to bring your ID.
• Supplies are available per household, for publicly owned animals
  • Rescues and shelters are ineligible for this program (per our contract with our partner distributors)
• Items are not for resale.
