Many families today, especially those with children, are struggling to maintain a normal life. The loss of a job, an illness, injury or other major unexpected expense can have serious consequences for the household budget. In these difficult times, the financial burden of pet ownership is becoming more than many local families can bear. Individuals and families have been forced into making the wrenching decision of having to give up a beloved companion.
You can help these families keep their pets. Here’s how:
Making a secure, tax deductible gift on a one-time or recurring basis. Your donation will help Vermont and Massachusetts families care for and keep their pets.
Commission a portrait of your favorite furry friend and support our Pawsitive Pantry program in Massachusetts at the same time! Mary is an oil painter who generously supports our work by painting custom portraits on canvas. She donates her time, the materials and even shipping. For a donation of $250 – all of which goes to Pawsitive Pantry Massachusetts – you can have a one of a kind painting of your dog or cat.
Want to take your contribution even further? Consider running a pet food drive, pop-up pantry, or donation campaign in your community! We are happy to help you get your project off the ground in a COVID-safe manner.
We are always looking for volunteers to join our cause! We have particular need for those interested in transport, marketing, or fundraising efforts. Please contact us so we can discuss what you may be interested in and how we can best fit you into our organization.
