PET FOOD BANK & HARLEY’S HAMPER PROGRAM

Currently, pet food can only be accessed in Calgary. 


Named after Harley Smith – a Weimaraner with an intense love of food and dog parks. Sadly, Harley passed away at the age of 9 after a courageous battle with lymphoma. Harley’s parents are the founders of Parachutes for Pets and knew that a program to help ensure that animals always had a full belly would honour his memory perfectly.

Parachutes for Pets supplies the pet food & supplies for Veteran’s hampers on a monthly basis, as well for Horizon Housing and Seniors Resource Society through the holidays.

Low-income households within Calgary city limits can also apply for a food hamper once every 3 months for a maximum of 4 hampers per year.

Program Qualifications:

        • The pet food bank can be accessed 2x per year for anyone needing a hand-up who does not qualify for low-income (please specify that in your request.
        • The pet food bank can be accessed by individuals that qualify as low-income by Alberta Standard up to 4x per year (every three months)
        • Individuals referred by social workers, or other agencies may qualify for more depending on circumstances.
        • We assist a maximum of 3 pets per home to ensure we can help as many pets as possible.

Our pet food bank is donation-based and community-driven.
Hampers must be picked up.

Details will be provided once requests are approved.
We appreciate your continued patience and understanding.
