Passaic County SPCA to Open First-ever Countywide Pet Pantry

The Passaic County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals announced the official launch of its PCSPCA Pet Pantry at its headquarters at 794 Lafayette Ave. in Hawthorne.

Initially, the pantry will be open twice a month on the first Saturday of the month from 1 to 4 p.m. and the second Monday of the month from 7 to 8 p.m.

The all-volunteer pantry will provide assistance to Passaic County residents who face choosing between feeding and caring for their pets and paying household bills or purchasing human food. Residents who qualify can apply for monthly assistance.

“We are honored to be able to provide this service to our county’s residents and their pets,” said Luis Vasquez, president of the PCSPCA. “Our goal is to help people facing economic hardship be able to keep their beloved animals, rather than surrendering them to a shelter, by providing them with supplemental food, treats and other items.”

Passaic County residents in need can visit the pantry during the hours listed, fill out a form, provide a valid photo ID and have proof of the following: Passaic County residency (in the form of a utility bill); proof of income (pay stub, tax return or current Families First Card); and proof of having had pets spayed/neutered or agree to do so.

Food and treats will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Currently, the pantry has dry and wet food for dogs and cats only.

According to PCSCPA Pet Pantry coordinator Stephanie Hornback, “We are working hard to increase our inventory. We want to be able to help as many people and animals as possible. Please help us spread the word about the assistance we can provide AND the need for donations of funds and food to keep the pantry growing.”
