The Humane Society of Ventura County (HSVC) is dedicated to keeping pets out of shelters and in their homes. A key initiative in achieving this goal is providing free pet food to those in need through various free pet food programs.
The HSVC Pet Food Bank, located at 402 Bryant St. in Ojai, offers free dry and wet dog and cat food Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Additionally, the Pantry 4 Paws program provides pet food directly from HSVC’s remote pet food banks throughout Ventura County. The newest program, DoorDash PET, partners with DoorDash to deliver free dog and cat food to pet owners within a 10-mile radius of an HSVC host location.
The Pet Food Bank assists low-income pet guardians by supplying free pet food. Financial hardship is a leading reason for pet relinquishment, and HSVC’s Pet Food Bank aims to help those struggling to feed their beloved animals. The program is fully funded by community donations, and HSVC’s Pet Food Banks are always in need of dry and wet dog and cat food. Donations of unopened pet food can be dropped off at 402 Bryant St. in Ojai.
As a private nonprofit, HSVC relies entirely on community support and receives no government funding or assistance from national animal welfare organizations. Your donations to their free pet food programs help keep pets in their homes and out of the shelter.
