About Us

The Pet Food Pantry is the area's first dedicated charitable pet food resource and was established to help prevent the abandonment or surrender of animals when their families cannot afford to feed them.

Kristen Kenyon, Kristen Below, Christy Hill and Samantha Crowe are the coordinators of The Pet Food Pantry of Eastern North Carolina, and believe this can make a difference in overburdened shelters and rescues by helping ease the stress of those facing financial difficulty feeding their pets. Because when people must choose what to cut from their grocery lists, pets often are among and those that suffer most.

We believe that The Pet Food Pantry is a gift for the entire community?and that by lending a hand when times are tough and providing dog and cat food for the companion pets of anyone in honest need we can ease these burdens on the families and the community.

We require the spaying & neutering of the pets in the homes of the families we are helping. Through donations we are able to provide surgery certificates for free or a reduced cost, as well as rabies shots to those in need.

Thank you for all the generous support and donations that allows these pets to stay safe at home and out of the shelters.
