Humane Pennsylvania relies entirely on donations and services fees from the community.

We try to make giving easy and fun by having awesome special fundraising events in local communities. We understand you want to support the work we do for the animals in care, but we also know that no one likes going to a boring event!

Below you will find our upcoming event list, and some of them are even pet-friendly! All of these events offer the chance to do good and have some fun all at the same time.

Million Pet Meal Challenge (Plus Photos With Santa!)
Saturday, December 7, 2024

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! Our goal is to provide one million meals to pets in need across Berks & Lancaster counties and beyond! On Saturday, December 7, Humane Pennsylvania will be hosting a big donation drive drop-off day from 9 AM – 4 PM.

Drop-Off Locations

  • Reading Campus – 1729 N. 11th Street, Reading, PA 19604
  • Lancaster Campus – 2195 Lincoln Highway East, 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!

For more information about this event, please contact Nicole Koch, Events & Volunteer Coordinator, at nkoch@humanepa.org or 610-750-6100, ext. 232.
