FYI

We do welcome donations of un-used or hardly used toiletries which we can either make available in our own shops or pass on to local homeless services. Today we were able to give a bag to the Simon Community for their Spring Gardens Rapid Access service.

Items we especially appreciate:
Shampoos, conditioners, body washes and hand soaps either unused or opened, if still in a clean useable condition.
Un-used toothbrushes, toothpaste and razors.

Many thanks!

Can anyone help ??

We urgently need dog and cat food 🤞🚨

Throughout the year, our incredible supporters help us keep our pet food bank shelves stocked. We’re so grateful for every single donation, you make such a difference. 💚

Sadly, demand has continued to grow, and we find ourselves needing to ask for your help again.

This vital service supports nearly 90 human food banks and thousands of pets each year, but we need your help to keep going. Can you donate pet food?

Drop-offs welcome at:
📍 Edinburgh Dog & Cat Home, 26 Seafield Road East, EH15 1EH

You can also donate through our Amazon wish list (linked in comments) 🐾

Your donation helps pets stay in loving homes and fight pet poverty.

Thank you for being part of our community 💚
