Last week we put out a call for dog food donations, and our fellow Olympians answered! We raised over 600lbs of dry pet food, and nearly 300 cans of wet food, plus other donations of toys, treats, and supplies. Thank you all for your support!
Good morning, Olympia! Concern for Animals is in need of dry dog food donations, as our stock is running low in the face of requests for aid. We can take any unexpired food, opened bags are okay. We’re located on the corner of State and Central if you want to drop off your donations in person, or you can have them shipped to us directly from your retailer of choice.
Every piece of kibble that comes in, goes back out to a local family in need during our weekly food bank.

Concern for Animals is collecting donations of pet food, treats, and toys to support families in our community who are in need. Bins will be available at Olympic Cards and Comics for donations the weekend of May 1st - 3rd. We can accept any unexpired food or treat items, even if it’s already opened! Toys and other pet supplies can be new or used!
Concern for Animals distributed over 44,000lbs of pet food to local families and their furry family members last year at our weekly pet food bank.
The need has grown; we would love your help to keep pets and their people together!
