My Pit Bull is Family

This is our reality.

Empty shelves and an empty warehouse. We’re doing everything we can to keep our shelves stocked but we could use your help.

Roughly 200 families visit us each week to pick up pet food and supplies.

Shop our Chewy wishlist in the comments to help us keep pets fed in our community.

Mutual aid is what we do and we’ve made a commitment to our community - even when the donations have nearly stopped and the media is gone.

Each week, we deliver groceries to nearly 300 families in North Minneapolis. Each of these families are still feeling the impacts of Operation Metro Surge.

We’re always looking for product donations, monetary donations and volunteers for our Northside People’s Pantry! 💕

We hear it over and over again - Veterinary Care is expensive. Veterinary Care isn't accessible. Veterinary Care creates spaces where community feels judged for not being able to "do enough".

We're here to change that - and that's where our partnership with Access Veterinary Care comes in. They are already one of the most affordable urgent care clinics in the Twin Cities and are a trusted partner of ours for the communities we support.

This Summer/Fall Access Veterinary Care will be joining us as one of our amazing programs to support people and pets in the community - but we need you're help to make that a reality.

With your help, we will raise the funds needed to get the keys to the clinic & to be able to create a community care fund to ensure that we can say yes to those who need support the most.
