Prepacked Bags For People, Dogs and Cats

You've probably noticed the prepacked grocery bags at our stores.  These bags are full of nonperishable foods.  Two different bags have food and supplies for dogs and cats.

Our Helpful Harvest program, available in each of our stores, offers customers the opportunity to provide a direct food donation to their local food bank.  Our complementary program, Helping Paws, does the same with bags for either cats and dogs, with the bags purchased going to local animal shelters.  Customers can read about each of the organizations receiving their donations from information  we've placed on the bags.

Since the program began about eight months ago, over 2,500 bags have been delivered.  At this time, dog donation bags are leading cat donation bags, but of course, donation bags for people top both!

We have all noticed the ever-growing numbers of hungry people in our communities.  If you can make a difference by purchasing a Helpful Harvest or Helping Paws bag, it will go to make life a bit easier for those in need. 

We also are pleased to help our local food banks by making daily and weekly donations of food and product for their clients.  Regular donations to community charities who serve meals on the street are also part of our commitment to feeding the hungry.  We hope you can join us.
