Join Our Pack
It takes a village to keep our community’s pets fed and happy. Whether you can spare a few hours a month or want to make it a weekly tradition, we have a spot for you on our team.
Your Time Changes Lives
When you volunteer at North Star Pet Pantry, you aren’t just moving bags of kibble—you are directly helping your neighbors during their toughest times and ensuring pets stay in the homes where they are loved.
How You Can Help
Pantry Packers
Help us sort donations, break down bulk bags of food into family-sized portions, and keep the pantry shelves organized. Great for those who like behind-the-scenes work!
Distribution Days
Work directly with our clients on Tuesdays and Saturdays. You will help check people in, bag their requested supplies, and carry items to their cars.
Supply Drivers
Pick up bulk donations from our community partners, local vets, and pet stores to bring back to the pantry. (Must have a valid driver’s license and a vehicle).
Donate Pet Supplies
Prefer to drop off items? We gladly accept unopened, unexpired pet food and new supplies.
Donations can be dropped off at our main location (123 Community Drive) on Tuesdays and Saturdays between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM.
