Our Pet Food Pantry at the Humane Society provides food monthly to those in need. But did you know that we also have 20+ volunteer drivers who deliver to over 200 home-bound seniors or disabled persons who don’t have any way to come in to the shelter?
We are always looking for drivers, the more we have the more people we're able to help. It is a once-a-month commitment using your own car. You select a date every month to come in and pickup the pet food and then deliver it to the people on your list. The pet food is packaged and ready on the shelf for you with your name on it. You deliver to the same people every month, and you'll find that it is very rewarding to know that you are helping them to keep their pets in their homes.

About The Humane Society for Tacoma and Pierce County

Mission Statement
To protect and to promote the well being of animals and to foster positive relationships between people and animals.
Description
The Humane Society is the largest animal shelter in the State of Washington, opening our doors to tens of thousands of homeless pets every year. We find find homes for more than 7,000 animals a year, and reunite thousands more with their owners. While we do not provide animal control services, we do shelter for local municipalities. As an open-admission shelter, we accept every animal that comes to us, regardless of its age, condition, behavior, or medical status. We are therefore forced to euthanize some animals that are do not find homes. Our goal is to find a home for every healthy, adoptable animal while still maintaining our "open admission" status. Acheiving this means creating a "no-kill community" in Pierce County, which is our primary goal.
We are an independent non-profit organization with 501(c) 3 status. We depend upon the tax-deductible donations of our generous donors. We are not a governmental agency nor are we affiliated with or funded by any national animal welfare organization.
