The Pet Food Pantry Is Evolving—Here’s What’s New

 

🐾 The Pet Food Pantry Is Evolving

The Pet Food Pantry keeps growing and changing—because that’s how we learn what works best. These updates will help us serve more pets and caretakers more smoothly.


✨ What’s New?

No More Public Announcements

We will no longer post the date and location of the Pet Food Pantry publicly. Instead, only approved participants will be contacted directly by email.

When you receive our email, you’ll need to reply with:

  • Number of pets
  • Type of pets (dog, cat, etc.)
  • Names of pets
  • Whether they are indoor, strays, or feral cats (include colony location)
  • If shelters are needed for stray/feral cats
  • If you notice new cats/kittens needing spay/neuter (TNR) so we can help

 We will still post:

  • How to enroll
  • Enrollment deadlines
  • Requests for donations (until further notice)

Pop-Up Pantries (Huckster Style)

Starting August 2025, we’re testing Pop-Up Pantries! These will be more flexible, easier to manage, and may even allow us to host them more than once a month. As we move toward becoming a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we’ll also be able to receive larger donations from stores—reducing the need to ask Delco residents for supplies. That’s the goal!


✅ What Hasn’t Changed?

Enrollment Instructions

Enrollment is still required for the Pet Food Pantry. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Fill out the enrollment form
  • Enrollment deadline: 15th of each month
  • If records arrive after the 15th, you may need to wait until the next month to participate
  • Full instructions are on the form

🐾 Thank you for being patient with us as we grow—together we’re making a difference for pets and their caretakers across Delco!

Please note: The above information is subject to change.
