🐾 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!

📋 New Rules for Pet Food Pantry Enrollment

To help us serve our community more efficiently, we’ve updated our Pet Food Pantry enrollment process. Please review the following requirements carefully:

1. Spay/Neuter Records Required:
   You must provide proof of spay/neuter before we will review your enrollment form.

2. Complete Enrollment Needed to Participate:
   Both the enrollment form and spay/neuter records must be submitted before participating in the pantry.
   ➤ Monthly deadlines will be listed on that month's flyer, and posted on our blog and Facebook page.

3. ID Card Issued Upon Approval:
   A Pet Food Pantry ID card will be issued only after we receive, review, and approve a complete enrollment package.

4. Bring ID to Each Pantry Visit:
   Once approved, you must present your Delco Loves Animals ID card and a valid photo ID at every pantry event.

📌 Note: We’re working on issuing new Pet Food Pantry ID cards for all participants.

These updates will help streamline the process and ensure the pantry runs as smoothly as possible. Thank you for your continued patience and support as we work to better serve pets and families in need.
