AUGUST PET PANTRY NEEDS

 

🐾 This Month’s Pet Pantry Needs - Join Us in Helping Delco’s Pets

Your kindness keeps tails wagging, purrs rumbling, and bellies full. As we gear up for another month of serving pets in need, here’s how you can help:

🛒 Donate Supplies

This month, our most-needed items are:

1. Dry dog food

2. Cat food (preferably grain-free)

3. Dog treats (NO rawhide, please)

4. Cat litter

One of our goals at DLA is to education pet owners about "species appropriate diets" for pets. Check out this TED Talk with holistic veterinarian, Dr. Karen Becker. Also watch the documentary film, Pet Fooled. 

We’re still in need of local businesses and churches who are willing to host a collection/donation bin — it’s an easy, high-impact way to support pets in need right here in our community. Eventually we hope that donations can be dropped off at any of our Pet Food Pantry collection bins hosted by local businesses and churches. We can also arrange a meet-up or pickup.

📦 Shop Our Amazon Wish List

If you prefer to give from the comfort of your home, you can shop directly from our Amazon Wish List. Items ship straight to us, so it’s one of the easiest ways to make an immediate impact.

📍 Parking Lot Needed

We’re trying something new for our pantry distribution this month — setting up “huckster-style” right from our truck. For that, we need a small, safe, and accessible parking lot. It doesn’t have to be large — just a welcoming spot we can use for the day.

🙋 Volunteers Welcome

We always need extra hands for packing food, unloading donations, and helping during events. Whether you can spare an hour or a whole afternoon, your time truly makes a difference. Email us at delcolovesanimals@gmail.com if you’d like to get involved.

Every bag of food, every can, every hour volunteered — it all adds up to healthier, happier pets in our community. Thank you for being part of the Delco Loves Animals family. ❤️🐾

❤️ From our grateful hearts to your generous hearts! ❤️

🐾 DLA's IMMEDIATE NEEDS - Here’s How You Can Support Delco Loves Animals This Month (August) 🐾

IMMEDIATE NEEDS:

✅ Donate Pet Food & Supplies
Every can and bag counts! Dry or wet food, treats, litter, leashes — anything helps local pets in need. We have an Amazon Wish List!

✅ Host a Donation Bin
Got a business, church, or community space? We’ll drop off a donation bin and pick it up regularly — easy and impactful!

✅ Provide a Parking Lot or Outdoor Space
We’re looking for locations to hold Pet Pantry events. If you have a space we can use for a few hours or know someone who does, we’d love to hear from you.

✅ Volunteer Your Time
Packing, handing out supplies — we always need kind, friendly, reliable hands to keep things running smoothly.

✅ Sign and Share Our Petition
We're building awareness and advocating for sustainable solutions to help animals and all those who care for them in Delco. Every signature helps!

💛 Let’s make sure no pet in Delco goes hungry or un-spayed and unneutered. 💛

Want to help? Just get in touch — we’d love to have you involved!

With gratitude,

🐾 Delco Loves Animals Update - Pet Food Pantry: What's New?🐾

🐾 PET FOOD PANTRY ALERT!

We’re Trying Something NEW This Month

We’re gearing up for a different kind of Pet Food Pantry on August 31st — for pets and the people who love them — but we can’t make it happen without the help of our amazing community.

---

🚚 WHAT’S NEW?

This month, we’re switching things up!
Instead of hosting our usual indoor pantry, we’ll be setting up in a local parking lot — huckster style! 🛻🐾 Think of it as a drive-up, open-air pantry right from our truck.

We’re testing this “pantry-style” distribution to see if it’s a good fit for our community. Same mission, fresh approach!

---

📍 WE NEED A PARKING LOT PARTNER

We’re looking for a kind neighbor or business willing to let us use their parking lot for this event.
It doesn’t have to be big — just safe, accessible, and local. If you can help (or know someone who can), please reach out!

---

✅ WHO IS ELIGIBLE?

Our pantry is open to approved DLA Pet Food Pantry participants.
If you’ve been approved, you can join any pantry event until your Pet Food Pantry card expires (cards will be handed out at this month's pantry). Approval lasts six months from your approval date and means you have:

1. Completed our Enrollment Form

2. Submitted spay/neuter records for all your pets

3. Received an approval confirmation email

Not approved yet?
If you’ve never completed our enrollment process, or if you’ve sent in your documents but haven’t received an approval email, please contact us.
All enrollment forms and spay/neuter records must be submitted by August 15 (or the 15th of any month) to participate in that month’s pantry and beyond.

---

📝 HOW TO SIGN UP

Email Delcolovesanimals@gmail.com by August 25 with:

1. Number of cats — please note how many are indoor and outdoor

2. Number of dogs

3. Type of food (canned or dry)

4. Preferred brand/type of food (we can't guarantee it, but if possible, we'll do our best to accommodate)

---

💌 LET’S DO THIS TOGETHER

This month’s pantry is a new adventure, and we can’t wait to see how it goes. With your help — whether by lending a parking lot, volunteering, or spreading the word — we can keep more pets happy, healthy, fed, spayed and neutered!

Please share with family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, everyone you know!

Thank you!
