Important Notice: We are not accepting new pantry clients at this time.
Please scroll down to see a list of other local pantries throughout the DMV.
We offer a county-wide pet pantry to low-income and financially disrupted residents of Prince George’s County and Montgomery County. We also provide food to colony caretakers. We hold monthly food distribution events in Upper Marlboro and schedule food pickup appointments at our Rockville and Clinton locations.
Colony caretakers: We do not have trappers for TNR efforts, so if you’re in need of TNR assistance, please reach out to the other organizations in the PG Community Cat Alliance.
Check out our list of local low-cost spay/neuter and vaccine clinics here.
