🐾 Urgent Help Needed — Pet Food Bank Storage!
The Kalamazoo Humane Society Pet Food Bank provides thousands of pounds of pet food and litter every week to families working hard to keep their beloved pets at home.
Recently, we lost access to a storage space that allowed us to safely hold large donations, and our current building simply does not have the capacity to store bulk shipments. Many of our most critical donations arrive in large quantities — often 20–25 pallets at a time.
In fact, due to this space limitation, we recently had to turn away an entire truckload of donated supplies valued between $70,000–$100,000. This was an incredibly difficult loss and highlights just how urgently storage is needed.
Without donated food, KHS must spend $5,000–$6,000 every month on pet food and litter to keep the food bank operating — a cost that is not sustainable long-term.
💛 We are urgently seeking donated or low-cost storage space for approximately 25 pallets of pet food and supplies.
What we need:
- Space for ~25 pallets (no temperature control required)
- Access once or twice per week
- Local to Kalamazoo (willing to travel a reasonable distance)
- Temporary space would still be incredibly helpful
- KHS staff will keep the area clean and organized
- Tax deduction available for donated space (KHS can also contribute financially if needed)
