The DaisyCares Pet Food Program is dedicated to supporting families facing financial challenges by providing essential dog and cat food. This crucial program ensures that economic hardship doesn’t necessitate the heartbreaking decision to give up beloved companion animals. DaisyCares understands the profound bond between people and their pets and strives to keep these families together through difficult times.
Currently, DaisyCares collaborates with the San Antonio Food Bank in Texas to operate its impactful pet food program. This partnership allows for a widespread and efficient distribution network, ensuring pet food reaches those who need it most through the food bank and its network of pantry partners. DaisyCares actively seeks donations from local retail stores and pet food manufacturers, converting surplus and donated pet food into vital support for the community.
DaisyCares Pet Food Program in Partnership with San Antonio Food Bank
DaisyCares and the San Antonio Food Bank have forged a strong alliance to specifically address pet food insecurity within their community. This dedicated pet food program is meticulously designed to offer consistent pet food assistance to struggling families and individuals, directly aiding their cherished dogs and cats. The program’s inventory of cat and dog food is replenished through community food drives, partnerships with retail locations, and generous contributions from pet food manufacturers and distributors.
