No Pet Hungry: Million Meal Challenge
The No Pet Hungry: Million Meal Challenge is an ongoing, year-round pet food collection competition that benefits Humane Pennsylvania’s Spike’s Pet Food Pantry!
Collection boxes are stationed at participating Berks and Lancaster County businesses throughout the year and come equipped with a bone-a-fide pet food counting system that will help you keep track of how much your business has collected!
Use a marker to fill in the bone on the front of your box as donations come in, and use the hashtags #NoPetHungry and #MillionMealChallenge to show us your progress!
On Saturday, December 7, Humane Pennsylvania will be hosting a big donation drive drop-off day from 9 AM – 4 PM at our Reading Campus (1729 N. 11th St, Reading, PA 19604) and Lancaster Campus (2195 Lincoln Hwy E, Lancaster, PA 17602).
To make it even more fun, we’re offering Pet & Family Photos with Santa that day as well! Bring the entire family out for a chance to create memories right before the holidays! Pet and family photos with Santa will be from 12 – 4 PM.
Instead of charging for photos, we’re asking everyone to bring a pet food donation in exchange for their photo!
