About
American
Humane Feed
the Hungry
COVID-19
fund:
Like every
other
business or
organization
in America,
rescue
shelters are
struggling
to maintain
basic
services and
care for
their animal
residents in
the face of
the current
worldwide
pandemic.
Thousands of
animals are
being left
without
homes and
facilities
are in
desperate
need of
general
supplies. In
response to
the
overwhelming
number of
calls
received
from animal
rescuers,
shelters and
first
responders,
American
Humane
launched the
Feed the
Hungry
COVID-19
fund to feed
and care for
animals
across the
country who
have been
abandoned as
a result of
the
coronavirus
crisis. The
fund seeks
to raise
much-needed
resources to
help
shelters and
rescue
organizations
that are not
only
fighting to
keep the
lights on,
but also to
keep
critical
supplies
like food
stocked.
