Pet Food Bank Chorley by BMD Pets

03/01/2024

Happy New Year everyone,

We have made the difficult decision to permanently close the food bank on the 10th January,
We are hoping to work with the council social prescribing team, more details will follow in the year.

Since opening in September 2022 we have helped more than 250 families through the generous donations and support of local businesses and people.

Our thanks go to A1 Pets Place & A1 Groomers R&A Reptile & Pet Supplies, Pinewood Veterinary Practice Barrica Wines GA Pet foods for their amazing donations each month Belle's Barkery Lancashire for their kind donation made from their Christmas raffle and each and everyone who has sent donations. Along with the owner of the chippy for allowing us to use the building.

Thanks to Angela, Stacey & Jo for their help and support over the past 15 months.

We can still accept food donations as we will make sure these get passed on to the relevant support groups/food banks

Next 3 openings
Please remember we can only work with the donations we are given so please don’t have a go if we can’t give you as much as previously or the same as last time.

We are struggling to keep up with demand and at times must ration what we have to make sure as many pets are fed as possible,

We are all out of dry dog food tonight, it’s been incredibly busy, we are as we have been the past few month’s extremely low on cat supplies which does mean we have to limit how much can give out so we can help as many people as possible each fortnight.

We run the foodbank on donations and volunteer our time to ensure that we can help as many families as possible, please be respectful when visiting

19/09/2023

We are open Wednesday this week, attached are the dates when we are open.

Please don’t come before 4.30, we need the time to set up, with the weather as it is it’s not nice having to wait in the rain.

A gentle reminder that we are here to support families with their pets but we cannot accept new pets you have taken on.

We are desperately short of cat food both tinned and dry and cat litter, if anyone is able to help it would be very much appreciated

26/07/2023

A reminder we are open today 4.30-7pm
We will then only be open fortnightly
