The Pet Food Pantry is a community resource to assist low-income families and individuals in the City of Los Angeles experiencing financial hardship who need help feeding their animal companions.The LAAS Pet Food Pantry program receives large donation trucks full of pet food and LAAS volunteers meet at our service centers to unload the pet food in order to disseminate these donations to low-income families in Los Angeles that are struggling to feed their pets.
LAAS Pet Food Pantry is available at three of our locations, East Valley, North Central, and Chesterfield Square (South LA), and feeds over 1100 pets each week. Pet food resources can dwindle in many sectors of animal care, so we also use these large pet food donations to help other shelters, foster programs, and local rescues with their pet food needs.
We need you to join our volunteers in unloading the donation truck, and sorting and organizing the food. Together we can finish the task faster, burn some calories, and end up feeding over 1100 pets.
This community intervention is vital in helping reduce the amount of owner-surrendered animals coming to our shelters and keeping those pets in their homes with their families.

Did you know that that 58% of all food produced is wasted or lost, meanwhile, 1 in 5 households in British Columbia go hungry? Making matters worse, the emissions from decomposing organic waste in Canadian landfills currently account for 20% of national methane emissions.Vancouver Food Runners is seeking volunteer food drivers (Food Rescue Heroes!) to join our network of passionate volunteer drivers. You will pick up excess perishable food from a community donor (bakery, green grocer or restaurant) and distribute it to those who need it most. We have partnered with charitable organizations such as the YWCA, local neighbourhood houses, shelters and schools to help put a stop to hunger right in our very own city.
How is Vancouver Food Runners different?
We use an app to coordinate food runs for our volunteers to access. Once a volunteer claims a food rescue, they can find their way to the donor and their final destination with the push of a button. Be a part of the solution by diverting viable food destined for the landfill and, instead, delivering it into the mouths of Vancouver’s most vulnerable and food insecure.
Join us in putting an end to hunger and bringing us closer to Zero Waste in our city. Download our app now to get started:
