Pets Alive & Orange County Veterinary Hospital Establish Pet Chow Pantry
The economy places strain on all food banks, including those serving family pets. New York charities are seeing dramatic increases in demand as a result.
Orange County Veterinary Hospital (OCVH) and Pets Alive have created Pet Chow Pantry feeding family pets who are going hungry and may ultimately be abandoned.
Pet Chow Pantry will immediately start collecting donations for distribution at OCVH, 1761 Route 17M , Goshen Monday-Friday 8:30am to 5:00pm. Additional locations will be set up shortly. The Pantry hopes to have enough inventory to start distribution to those in need by mid February.
We gladly accept corporate and business sponsorships. Are you a shelter, rescue, veterinarian or pet related business? Would you like to be a partner with us? We will proudly promote your business and logo as a sponsor of our Pet Chow Pantry. You can be a full sponsor of the Pantry, a participant, or just a business member willing to place donation bins, or collect and deliver the collections to us. Whatever part you'd like to play in the Pantry, we want your help and participation! Please contact us at: info@petchowpantry.org
Pick up location: Food pickups can be done on the last Sunday of every month at the Pet Chow Pantry, 43 St. John Street, Goshen. You must be approved to receive aid. To get approved, please fill out this form.
