Community Support

Community based programs and services designed to support pet owners - and keep pets with their owners longer. Community focus also includes Trap Neuter and Release (TNR) support, as well as community-based spay/neuter, microchip and vaccination clinic support, as needed. Partnerships with East Bay Regional Parks also support Trap, Neuter, and Relocate community cats found in regional parks. These programs are all designed to keep animals healthy and safe.

Pet Food Pantry

Established in 2026, this program provides supplemental food to cat & dog owners in the community, located at Contra Costa Animal Services in Martinez. Pet food and supplies donated to Contra Costa Animal Services that cannot be used to support animals in their care are included in the Pet Food Pantry, for distribution to pet owners in the community.

We work with partners such as Concord Feed to purchase bulk dry dog and cat food to support each month's distributions.

The pet food pantry includes pet food distribution at:

Contra Costa Animal Services; 1st & 3rd Wednesday each month
Loaves & Fishes of Contra Costa

Cat Community Support

The Foundation provides dry cat food and supplies to community volunteers who support cat colonies and communities throughout the County.

Cat food is provided regularly to Trap Neuter and Release (TNR) volunteers who work closely with Contra Costa Animal Services to spay and neuter unhoused cats.
Coordination points are established with Contra Costa Animal Services in East County, West County and Brentwood.
In partnership with East Bay Parks and Contra Costa Animal Services, the Foundation also supports trap, neuter, and relocation of unhoused cats that may threaten birds and other small wildlife located in our community parks.
