Because every member of the family deserves a full bellyāeven the furry, feathered, and four-legged ones.
Weāre excited to share a new initiative thatās close to our hearts and inspired by the stories we hear every week in our Community Food Pantry.
Families in crisis are doing it toughāsome are going without meals to ensure their pets donāt go hungry. Weāve spoken to parents who are sharing their cereal and bread with beloved dogs and cats, and to elderly community members prioritising pet food over their own essentials. These stories have one thing in common: unconditional love for a pet, and the need for just a little extra help.
Thatās why Bridge Builders is launching the Pet Pantryāa dedicated program to provide pet food and supplies to families in need across Mandurah and the Peel region.
Ā What Will the Pet Pantry Provide?
Emergency pet food (wet and dry)
Kitty litter and hygiene items
Treats, toys, collars, and leads
Small animal and bird supplies
Support for families doing it tough, so pets can stay where they belongāat home, with the people who love them
Want to Lend a Paw?
You can help us launch the Pet Pantry by hosting a Pet Supplies Drive! This is a fantastic way for local schools, businesses, clubs, and families to come together and support both people and their pets in our community.
Weāre currently collecting: āļø Dog and cat food (all sizes) āļø Pet bowls, collars, leads āļø Kitty litter, pet shampoo, waste bags āļø Treats, toys, bedding āļø Bird, rabbit, and reptile supplies
Hosting a drive is easy, fun, and a meaningful way to give back. Weāll support you with posters, collection box labels, and social media shout-outs to help promote your effort.
š To register your drive, contact us at admin@bridgebuilders.org.au
Help Us Fill the Pantry Before It Opens
Weāre working hard to get this program off the groundābut we canāt do it alone. With your help, the Pet Pantry will be ready to support local families and their beloved companions when they need it most.
Letās make sure no pet goes hungry. Together, we can nourish every member of the family.
