Helping Those In Danger Right Now: Sleeping Bags, Blankets, Money & More

Homeless (FB 11-16-13) 1175274_694978047197679_731477717_nThere are many ways to help The Pongo Fund Emergency Response Team during this dangerous and bitterly cold weather. Your donations will allow us to keep our pet food bank stocked and also provide urgent necessities for both people and pets. Please note that 100% of your donations at this time will be used for food and supplies only to help people and pets in greatest need. Your donations will not be used for any other purpose other than to help those in greatest need right now.

  • Donate via our Paypal link here: https://www.thepongofund.org/contact/donation-page/
  • Mail a check to us here: The Pongo Fund, PO Box 8244, Portland OR 97207
  • Bring NEW sleeping bags, gloves, blankets and dog and cat coats to our pet food bank. Please note that The Pongo Fund is a volunteer driven organization and deliveries must be scheduled. To do so, please email us or call via the email link and phone number listed on our website.

Unfortunately, please understand that anything that arrives unscheduled and is left outside our door will be discarded as a safety measure. There are no exceptions.

Also, please note that we operate from a small warehouse and can only accept items that are NEW. Sleeping bags, gloves and blankets from Costco, Fred Meyer, BiMart and other stores are perfect for us. But to guarantee cleanliness they must arrive to us in factory packaging only. Unfortunately, there are no exceptions.

Amazon.com also has a good selection of items and our Wish List page is here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3V96S908V0BEN  . Although our Wish List shows food only, please note that we will happily accept any items you wish to provide us, including gift cards.

Thank you again for your kindness and generosity toward those less fortunate, both two-legged and four-legged alike. Because the truth is, we’re all connected. And no living thing deserves to suffer, especially during this bitterly cold weather.

In every community, there is work to be done. In every heart, there is the power to do it.
