FOOD BANK
At Parachutes for Pets, we believe no one should have to choose between feeding themselves and feeding their pet. Our Pet Food Bank offers a hand up to pet owners experiencing financial hardship, helping families stay together through tough times.
Through Harley’s Hampers, community members can access pet food support directly through our Advocacy Centers, as well as through Mobile Pop-Up Pet Food Banks hosted in partnership with community organizations across Alberta.
Our Mobile Pop-Up Pet Food Banks allow us to bring pet food and supplies directly into communities for scheduled distribution events in collaboration with schools, housing programs, outreach teams, nonprofits, and other local partners.
Please note: we do not provide individual home delivery of pet food. Individuals looking for pet food support can complete the Pet Food Bank Request Form and attend pickup during our open hours or at a scheduled community pop-up event.
This program is lovingly named Harley’s Hampers, in honour of our founder’s beloved dog, Harley, whose legacy continues to help pets in need.

All food available through the program has been kindly donated by our community, so availability may vary depending on what has been donated.
