This past Sunday The Pongo Fund Pet Food Bank once again helped to heal a hurting community, one kibble at a time. Our generous friends from Canidae Pet Foods joined with us to donate a measure of lifesaving pet food for more than 600 animals that might otherwise have had no food to eat for their dinner.

But that’s not all.

The Pongo Fund Pet Food Bank also provides emergency pet food to dozens of emergency human food charities throughout Oregon and SW Washington. The list includes some of the biggest charities in Oregon, and this past Sunday it included Sunshine Pantry, Holy Trinity Food Pantry, Dignity Village, Potluck in the Park, Union Gospel Mission and St. Francis Dining Hall; along with two dog rescue groups and the good folks from Meals-On-Wheels.

The Pongo Fund is not a big group. Frankly we’re tiny by most non-profit standards. But we’re mighty, and we work hard 24/7 to ensure that no animal is ever abandoned or surrendered simply because its family cannot afford the food to keep it fed.

We believe that pets are family too, and we’ll do all that we can whenever we can. Be sure to let us know if you ever need us.
