Today is , and we’d like to say a huge thank you to our generous customers who donated to the Pets Foundation Blue Cross UK summer appeal to help feed local pets in need - by buying a pet food parcel you have helped feed more than 79,000 pets.
During the Pets Foundation summer appeal, customers could purchase a pre-packed pet food parcel or donate online in aid of the Blue Cross food bank project. The food parcels were donated to local partnered food banks, who distributed the food to pet owners most in need in their local communities. Thanks to your kindness, we were able to donate 60,000 pet food parcels and raise a staggering £475,300.
Charlie from The Welcome Centre. Food Bank and More, one of the charities supported by the appeal, spent some time in Pets at Home Huddersfield Waterloo to help raise awareness of the appeal. She said: “Over the summer, here at The Welcome Centre Food Bank, we were able to provide 183 pet food packs, and we couldn’t have done this without the very generous donations we received through the Blue Cross in partnership with Pets at Home. Thank you to everyone who has supported us. No one should ever have to make the heartbreaking decision to rehome their pets due to financial constraints, but sadly, this is becoming a reality for many families. Every donation makes a significant impact, and if you are able to continue to donate pet food, we would be incredibly grateful, as it will allow us to continue helping pet owners in crisis.”
