Let’s Make a Difference

Join our Pet Pantry Outreach

Beginning in April 2024, Action for Animals began our Pet Pantry Program. Each month volunteers pack 325 bags of cat and dog food. On the second Thursday of the month, in partnership with the Lovington Food Coalition, we distribute this food to families in need of a little extra help feeding their pets. Pet food assistance keeps pets healthier and helps keep them in homes. Currently, Pet Pantry helps over 60 families feed more than 300 pets and continues to grow each month!
