MISSION STATEMENT:
It is the mission of the Middle Tennessee Pet Food Bank to provide food to animal rescues and shelters to enable the rescues and shelters to stretch their ever-shrinking dollars and free up some of their funds so that they can pay for more spay/neuters, veterinary care, behavior assessments and training for the animals in their care.
Programs: The Middle Tennessee Pet Food Bank collects and distributes donated pet food to animal rescue groups and shelters. The pet food bank generally has a 24-48 hour turn around time for donations when they are received. When a donation is received, it is immediatly inventoried and a rescue group is then contacted to schedule a pick up of the food. Pet food bank volunteers meet the rescue groups at locations around the city that are mutually convenient. At present, the pet food bank serves roughly 14 rescue groups in Davidson, Dickson, Hickman, Coffee, Williamson and Rutherford counties. In order to receive food from the pet food bank, a rescue group only needs to contact us to be placed in rotation. After the flooding this past May, the pet food bank was able to deliver 3,000 pounds of food and animal bedding to the Hickman County Humane Association and four small rescue groups in Hickman County, an area hit particulary hard by the flooding. We have five donation locations - Petco in Murfreesboro, Petco in Bellevue, My Sister's Closet Consignment Shop in Green Hills, White Bluff Animal Clinic inWhite Bluff and All Animals Veterinary Clinic in Dickson. Cash donations may be made securely through our web site via PayPal at www.midtnpetfoodbank.org.
