Stone Mountain pet food pantry needs refilling by Dec 1
Atlanta Animal Rescue Friends ran out of food on its Nov 3 pickup day and is collecting dog and cat food at 951 Main St.
Key points
- Atlanta Animal Rescue Friends (AARF) says its Community Pet Food Pantry feeds 500+ family pets and community cats every month. Atlanta Animal Rescue Friends, Nov 4
- Dry and canned food for both dogs and cats are the biggest needs. Atlanta Animal Rescue Friends, Nov 3 and 4
- Shoppers at aarfpetcentral.com can add a note that the order is for the Pet Food Pantry. AARF also keeps Amazon and Chewy wish lists. Atlanta Animal Rescue Friends, Nov 3 and 4
Empty on pickup day
On Nov 3, AARF said its shelves were already empty with 3 hours to go in pickup, and several families were still scheduled to pick up food for their dogs and cats.
The group says every bag and every can went home with a family who needed it, and its shelves are now bare.

How the pantry works
On the first Tuesday of every month, Stone Mountain neighbors pick up pet food at AARF, enough to last the whole month, the group says.
AARF says the pantry exists so no one has to choose between feeding themselves and feeding their pet. In 2027, the group is hoping to expand to more zip codes to double its reach.

How to help
Food can be dropped off at AARF Pet Central in Stone Mountain Village. AARF says online orders through the store support the store and stock the pantry.
The group also takes money for the pantry through Givebutter. AARF wants to start refilling now "so every neighbor's pet has a full bowl heading into the holidays."
