Pet Food Assistance Programs - we are here to help!

SPCA Florida has offered food for the pets of qualified residents since July 2013. Ani-Meals provides food to elderly and homebound families and partners with Meals on Wheels of Polk County, Mid-Florida Community Services, and VISTE. The Food Assistance Program (FAP) provides pet food to families who face financial challenges.

To qualify for the Food Assistance Program, you must be a Polk County resident and be on at least one government assistance program (SNAP/WIC/Food Stamps, Housing Assistance, TANF, etc.)

Food is distributed on the last Sunday of each month, from 10 AM to noon with drive-up service.
