Helping Pets and the People Who Love Them

Our Pet Food Pantry provides pet owners facing financial hardship with pet food, cat litter, and other supplies.

DECEMBER 2024

Please note that our Pet Food Pantry at 34 Elbow St. will be closed for the month of December while we reorganize the program and plan ahead for 2025. 

Plans for 2025 include more off-site pop-up Pet Food Pantry events throughout Providence and surrounding areas. This will allow us to help more pets in the community and reach those who have been unable to travel to PARL for this vital service. 

Dates and locations will be listed on this page in early 2025. Please check back then.

If you have any questions, please call our Community Engagement Coordinator at 401-421-1399 x215 or email reception@parl.org
