No family should have to choose between feeding themselves and their beloved pets. SNAP benefits don’t cover pet food, but your generosity can fill this critical gap and keep families together.
Enjoy delicious food (on us!) and locally crafted brews (available for purchase), mingle with animal lovers and community supporters, and make a tangible difference in the lives of neighbors in Northern Virginia.
Can’t make the event on September 25?
Donate now to support nutritious food for the entire family!
Your gift matters – every dollar helps feed people and pets. While monetary gifts have the most significant impact, you are welcome to bring unopened dog or cat food to contribute directly to our pantry. Sponsorship opportunities are also available! Partner with us to make an even bigger impact for families and their pets in need.
