Hello and Happy Holidays!
Thank you for all of your support in 2025. This year brought exciting developments for the National Pet Food Bank. We were able to award $20,000 in grants to improve pet food security across the country, and we expanded the network of organizations in our National Pet Food Bank Map to help identify community supports for those experiencing hardship.
National Pet Food Bank Grant
In our last update, we shared the five community organizations selected as recipients for our 2025 National Pet Food Bank grant cycle. These organizations have been hard at work using those grants to expand pet food support in their communities, helping to keep families together during times of hardship.
With the help of our generous supporters, we hope to continue supporting pet food bank initiatives across the country through National Pet Food Bank grants in 2026.
National Pet Food Bank Map
Our annual National Pet Food Bank Survey allowed us to identify many additional pet food bank programs in communities across Canada. The map is being updated with the information we gathered from the survey and will now identify a total of 335 programs across the country! The map can be accessed under the Links section below.
Best Wishes for 2026
Thank you very much for your continued support; it means so much to us, the organizations we work with, and to so many people and their animals across Canada.
We wish you a happy and healthy 2026 and look forward to sharing more about our work to help keep families together.
