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!
SAVE THE DATE for our Million Pet Meal Challenge Donation Drop-Off Day on Saturday, December 7, from 12 – 4 PM at our Reading and Lancaster campuses.
More details to follow.
