Australians love their pets. Did you know, 42% of households experiencing food insecurity would prefer to buy cheaper food for themselves so they can still buy food for their pets? And, 24% of households experiencing food insecurity would prefer skip meals entirely so their pets can eat?
It is no wonder that 30% of food insecure households would like to see more pet food available from charities and community groups.
At Foodbank, we listen to the needs of the communities we support. We understand pets play a significant role in supporting vulnerable households. They provide companionship, mental and emotional support, reduce loneliness and can help give life purpose through responsibility.
You can help us provide food to pets in food insecure households by donating today. For just $1, we can source $5 worth of food in retail value for pets in need. Please consider donating because no one, including pets, should have to go hungry.
