FOOD BANK

FOOD BANK GUIDELINES 2012

ELIGIBILITY: Concern for Animals (CFA) Food Bank offers temporary assistance to pet owners experiencing economic hardship.  Pet owners will receive an adequate food supply; however, the Food Bank is not to be used as a permanent source of pet food.  All animals must be spayed or neutered unless they are feral, in which case efforts to trap the cat must be made, if possible.  CFA may be able to lend a trap. To request food, pet owners must call the CFA office at 360-456-8176 and speak with the office manager before the deadline every Monday at 2:55 p.m. in order to pick up on that day.  Pick up times are usually every Monday at 4:30 p.m. at Rick’s Automotive, 3531 Pacific Avenue, Olympia (off Fones Road and behind Phyl’s Furniture).  If a holiday falls on a Monday, the Food Bank will be open the following day.  Only one (1) donation per household address is allowed.  A picture ID such as a driver’s license is required and recipients cannot pick up donations for other people.  A designated caregiver may pick up food on behalf of a pet owner by supplying a signed authorization letter and copy of owner’s picture ID.  Pet owners that are eligible for assistance may use the Food Bank no more than six (6) times per year and only one time per month.  The recipient cannot acquire more animals while participating in this program. We reserve the right to refuse anyone under any circumstance.  All recipient information is kept strictly confidential and not shared with any other organization.....click here to print out a full copy of the Food Bank Guidelines.
