Help support our efforts to make Massachusetts a better place for animals

Keeping families together when economic and/or transportation issues provide challenges is important to the MSPCA.

We have compiled this list of Massachusetts food pantries to help both families who need food and those who would like to donate pet food (dogs and cats), and will continue to update this list as we receive new information.

The pantries most likely to have pet food are listed below, but we recommend contacting pantries directly to confirm pet food availability ahead of time. Contact your local food pantry to ask about pet food if you don’t find a convenient one below.

If you are unable to access food from the list of pantries below or have questions about pet food support, please contact outreach@mspca.org. In your email, please include the town you live in. We may be able to provide additional resources.

Please note that listings were accurate when posted, but changes may occur. If you would like to suggest edits please email outreach@mspca.org. For additional pet food resources, contact the Pet Food Task Force by submitting a form on their website.

Please note that most food pantries do not have pet food except when it is donated to them – if you would like to donate, inquire via the links or contact information listed for your local pantry.
