The Full Bowls Project
Bentley & Co. Foundation's Community Pet Pantry
The Full Bowls Project provides free pet food and essential supplies to households experiencing temporary hardship. As our community pet pantry initiative, we focus on reducing the cost of care for pet owners in need—because no one should have to struggle alone when it comes to caring for their animals.
Where to find us
The Full Bowls Project, our community pet pantry initiative, primarily partners with local food pantries, churches, and community-based drive-thru distributions across the Detroit area, where we hand out supplies directly.
Check our Facebook page for updates on upcoming events and where we’ll be distributing next.
Need Emergency Pet Food?
If you're in the Detroit area and need urgent help feeding your pet, email us at info@bentleyandcofoundation.org. We’ll do our best to coordinate a pickup location.
The Full Bowls Project welcomes all donations — big or small.
