Bi-State Pet Food Pantry

Our founders, Sandy and Kylie, both had careers in social work and public relations. With the declining economy, they witnessed the need for charity every day. However, they couldn’t help noticing that while there were many organizations providing assistance to families in need of food, clothing, and housing, one family member in particular was continually overlooked – the family pet.

Unfortunately, many families are forced to surrender their pets due to unforeseen circumstances. That’s why Sandy and Kylie made it their mission to ensure that their families would be able to feed their pets. They began distributing pet food on the stoop of a small restaurant, and in August 2010, they gave more than 300 pounds of pet food.

We've done lots of growing in the past 14 years! In 2023, we distributed 122,435 pounds of food and litter as well as providing free spay/neuter and vaccine services for those in need. We continue to be a 100% volunteer run organization with nearly 75 active volunteers. 

Whatever you can give will go directly to the people and their pets who need it the most. With your donation, you are helping hundreds of St. Louis area pets from being abandoned due to the short-term financial difficulties of their owners. Together we can help people make it through tough times with their companion animals by their side.
