Let’s Feed Pets in Need!

Tackle Pet Hunger is a campaign conducted by Ohio Animal Foundation to raise awareness about pet hunger in our community and collect donations of cat and dog food to keep pets in their homes and out of the shelter. The 2025 community campaign runs October 1-31.
 

How does it work?

During the month of October donations of cat and dog food can be made at any of the collection sites below, or purchased through our Amazon Wish List. We also accept financial donations to purchase food for the campaign at a discount, making your dollar stretch farther and allowing you to have even more impact! Our 2025 goal is to collect 4,200 pounds of pet food.
