Mission: Animal House Project is a 501(c)3 charitable organization with multiple programs under our umbrella. Chester County Pet Food Pantry is on a mission to help companion pets stay at home and out of animal shelters by providing donated pet food to families in financial need. In 2016 after receiving a request from a pet food company, we created a Rescue Pet Food Pantry to help smaller grassroot 501 (c) 3 rescues and shelters obtain food thus using budgeted funds for life-saving operations; spay/neuter programs and adoptions. We have helped Rescues in the Tri-State area surrounding Pennsylvania all the way to Tennessee; Mississippi and even as far as Texas. In addition, in partnership with The Spayed Club in Sharon Hill, we provide spay/neuter services for our companion pets and in early 2021, we went back to our original mission of helping small rescues with fundraising and critical management needs to help where we were needed most. Raising funds and awareness for animal welfare. For our Board, we are all about the Animals and giving a Voice to the Voiceless.

Results: In 2019 Animal House Project, donated 400,000 lbs of dry and wet food to both companion and rescue pets. Due to COVID-19, our numbers in 2020 and 2021, doubled and the demand is continuing to grow. Overall, our numbers increased to over 2 million pounds of animal food donated. Quite an undertaking for a Non-Profit consisting of 100% Volunteers!!
