Do you like to think outside the box? In addition to traditional donations of money and supplies, the Michigan Humane Society offers several other unique opportunities to help the animals in our care:
Food Bank Program: Donations Needed
During these difficult economic times, MHS is responding with the “Keeping Families Together” program which includes the operation of a pet food bank at our three locations. To ensure it is helping those most in need, registration and proof of low-income status is required. The program is dependent on donations from the public. You can help by holding a dog and cat food drive or donating single bags of food. Donations can be delivered during regular adoption hours. For large donations, please call the appropriate location to schedule a delivery time. Unopened bags preferred; if a bag is opened, it can still be accepted, but please write the estimated purchase date on the bag. For more information, call 248.283.1000.
