After 12 months in the making, we're thrilled to introduce our new microdocumentary, capturing the heart and mission of Pets Of The Homeless. In this short film, our founder, dedicated volunteers, compassionate partners, and resilient clients share their stories, giving a true glimpse into the work we do to keep pets and people together through challenging times.

Having distributed 1.5 million meals is a source of immense pride for us, yet it also brings us a sense of sadness, as it reflects the increasing number of individuals who now depend on our assistance to keep their pets fed. Providing pet food is how Pets Of The Homeless started back in 2015 when our founder Yvonne started her weekly outreach work on the streets of Melbourne. It grew rapidly from there and then in 2017, Yvonne had to put the program on hold while she fundraised and searched for the perfect home base for our Pet Food Bank. Finally in 2019, we moved to our current HQ in Cheltenham and our pet food program started again with a bang! Covid happened and we went from 4 community partners to 40 in just a space of 6 months! Fast forward to today, we are now servicing close to 70 community partner organisations and distributing over 40,000 meals every month to ensure that no one would have to choose between feeding themselves or their pet. The 15th of November is our Giving Day, every single dollar you donate to Pets of the Homeless will be TRIPLED by our incredibly generous matching partners. It's the most important fundraiser of the year for us because it allows us to plan for the year ahead, to grow our pet food program even further. Demand for our services has increased exponentially during the last few years and many are now having to give up their beloved pets due to the cost of living crisis. Your support is needed now more than ever so please help us never tear them apart this Giving Day. https://lnkd.in/gKMVygKy #NeverTearThemApart
