This pantry has been serving the Waldo County pet community since 2013. And each time we have been in a crunch, the community has come forward and gave us all the support they could! Folks have donated food and supplies, volunteered, advertised, shared on social media, you name it! This community GIVES!
Now with the rising costs of well, everything we are finding ourselves in uncertain times! We survived the Covid pandemic, we have survived the ongoing rising costs, we have survived the need of our services getting greater. We are spending almost $2,000 monthly just to stay afloat and keep area pets healthy and well fed! The majority of our funds go directly to pet food purchases, we simply cannot continue without a real long-term plan/goal and of course, funding! We provide twice monthly pet food/supply distribution dates, Home Delivery for Veterans and elderly, 2 rabies clinics a year, we offer quality flea/tick prevention, treats, toys, bedding and we have a spay/neuter program! We are a much-needed resource for pet owners, and the need is only growing! There are numerous pet food pantries throughout Maine who are all facing the same struggle.
We have recently made changes to our social media Facebook page and are asking everyone and their friends, family to become subscribers to us!!!! It’s just 99 cents a month! And, if they send us their email address, we will add them to our online monthly newsletter, which is filled with the goings on at the pet food pantry and other useful pet information.
We also have Paypal giving fund, Venmo and Facebook pay for tax deductible donations. We are a 501c3 with the IRS and are tax #Exempt with the State of Maine. Checks can be mailed to our location at 34 Field Street Belfast, Maine 04915.
Please call or email! I would love to set up a time to chat and let those without social media know about us! (207)322-3237; waldocountypetfoodpantry@yahoo.com
