If you are a SNAP benefit recipient, you can get free food for your pets. Just fill out the initial contact form and they will be in contact to verify your eligibility. If you have pets, receive SNAP benefits and are finding it hard to feed your pets, you may not have to give up your furry family members to a shelter or the humane society. Just see if you qualify to receive free pet food.
From an article on MSN Now: Marc Okon has launched Pet Food Stamps, a New York-based nonprofit that will give qualifying pet owners throughout the U.S. (who must be receiving government assistance for themselves) funds to buy food for their animals from the website PetFoodDirect. In the program’s first two weeks, Okon says he has already fielded more than 12,000 applications. “It’s aimed at preventing people from having to choose feeding themselves or their animals or having to surrender them to a high-kill shelter,” Okon said.
