Bakersfield Pet Food Pantry

Bakersfield Pet Food Pantry

We started in April of 2009, donating pet food to folks who were receiving food from a local church and soup kitchen in Oildale. WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Quickly we saw a need far broader in this town than imagined. Bakersfield has a high unemployment rate along with overcrowded animal shelters. Many community members don’t have enough money to feed their beloved four-legged companions. They often have to make a choice between feeding themselves or their pet. To date, over 600,000 pounds of pet food has come through our pantry to be given to those

Sweet, sweet, Lily, whose mama has made so many generous donations to the Pantry over the years, had to cross the rainbow 🌈 bridge.

Our hearts break for her mom and dad, and as well my own heart hurts. Lily was such a loving soul.

Lily’s mom donated Lily’s supplies and toys so that many other pets will benefit.

Lily’s parents also made a generous monetary donation to the Pantry. This will serve so many other pets. Their kindness was immense.

Thank you so much for thinking of the Pantry in your time of grief. Run free sweet girl πŸΎπŸ’œπŸŒˆ

This pup was so cute at the Pantry today!

As soon as his dad picked up the treat πŸ—πŸ–bag he knew the scoop and was so excited.l πŸΎπŸ’œ

Huge thank you to all who have donated to the Bakersfield Pet Food Pantry!

These people and their pets are who your donations help to serve πŸΎπŸ’œ

We served 160 people today!

That means approximately 644 pets will have full tummies!

That also means that approximately 6,500 pounds of pet food passed through our doors today!

We can only continue to serve the community through the donations we receive. Thank you for your support 🐾🐾

Once a month the Bakersfield Pet Food Pantry delivers pet food to the seniors and disabled at the two building low income complex managed by the Housing Authority.

Look closely at the picture of the woman in the caftan, her little dog (reserving name for privacy) is always in the cutest dresses too!

The big black and white pup (again reserving name for privacy) fished his treat out of the bag and proudly walked out with it πŸΎπŸ’œπŸ˜‚

The Self Serve Pet Spa Flushing Quail (Calloway adjacent) location had lots of donations for the Pantry this week! πŸΎπŸ’œ

We are so grateful for Self Serve’s loyalty in maintaining a donation barrel for us as well as donating their own inventory.

Self Serve Pet Spa has the best employees! They are always willing to help our volunteers as well as providing excellent customer service. Our volunteer who picked up the donation said: β€œReally good size haul from SS Calloway πŸ‘Œ πŸ‘ Amy was there to open up and had me loaded up and on my way in no time. Small wonder their employees are so fantastic, her personality obviously is a big influence on them....David too!”

The Self Serve Pet Spa is Bakersfield’s family owned and run natural and holistic pet food store and self serve dog wash.

Show them some love by shopping there for pet food, treats, toys, collars/leashes, and of course to bathe your furry friend 🐾 πŸ›€

A kind soul, who wished to remain anonymous, stopped by the Pantry to donate cat food and treats.

Her cat, Spooky, crossed the rainbow 🌈 bridge, and she wanted another kitty to benefit from his food.

Thank you so much for thinking of others in your time of grief πŸ’œ

It’s hot πŸ₯΅ at the Pantry in the summer. We also have very little shade.

This was a smart way to beat the heat! πŸΎπŸ’œ
