Free SPCA Monterey County Pet Food Bank Needs Your Help

SPCA Monterey County is focused on keeping pets in their homes with their loving families during difficult times. So far this year they have given out more than 150,000 lbs of free pet food.

This holiday season, the need continues. Every week, the SPCA provides free pet food and supplies to over 800 pets in our community.

“I’m on social security disability and my dog is my helper,” says a Pet Food Bank recipient from Seaside. “He monitors my blood sugar and he’s my psychiatric service dog. If it wasn’t for the Pet Food Bank, I wouldn’t be able to give him the nutrition he needs to help me. I’m really grateful for the SPCA.”

The SPCA Monterey County needs your help keeping their shelves full to help those in need:

Purchase food at your local pet store or have food delivered from your favorite pet food company to SPCA Monterey County, 1002 Monterey-Salinas Highway, Salinas CA 93908.
