Pet food banks
We know that some pet owners struggle to afford pet food from time to time. Our research shows that many food banks do not currently offer pet food. We want to change that.
Blue Cross are looking to build a network of pet food banks across the UK to support pet owners. We’ll do this by supporting volunteers to source pet food and sharing it with organisations who already support vulnerable people and their pets.
And we can’t wait. Covid-19 has already started to have an impact on the economy, with many pet owners finding themselves on a reduced income, furloughed or losing their jobs completely.
How can I donate pet food?
To help us provide pet food to pet owners who need it, we will accept and store donations at our Sheffield rehoming and advice unit in South Yorkshire. The pet food donation point is located outside the entrance.
- Address: Old Station Drive, Sheffield, S7 2PY
- Telephone: 0300 7771591

How will pet food get to those that need it?
We are working with partner organisations in Sheffield who have existing links in the community and are best placed to identify those people who need our help.
