American Humane—the country’s first national animal welfare organization—will host a food and supplies drive for animals affected by Hurricane Milton.
The nonprofit’s Executive Office in Palm Beach is spearheading a critical effort to support animals affected by the recent natural disasters. From October 14 through October 16, American Humane will collect pet food and supplies, which will be transported directly to devastated areas in urgent need of assistance.
As communities rebuild and recover, countless pets remain vulnerable, lacking necessities such as food and bedding. American Humane calls on the community to come together to help provide relief to these animals in distress.
American Humane is collecting the following items:
- Dry and wet pet food (for dogs, cats, and other small animals)
- Pet beds, blankets, and towels
- Collars, leashes, and harnesses
- Pet-safe cleaning supplies
- Veterinary supplies
American Humane’s donation drop off-site site is located on the first floor at 251 Royal Palm Way, Palm Beach. Collection hours are Monday, October 14, Tuesday, October 15, and Wednesday, October 16, from 10am to 4pm.
“Now more than ever, it’s vital that we extend our compassion beyond our own homes and help those animals who are facing uncertain futures due to recent disasters,” said Dr. Robin Ganzert, President and CEO of American Humane. “Every donation, no matter the size, will make a significant impact in the lives of these animals.”
