Pet Food Pantry
Here Today Adopted Tomorrow maintains a pet food pantry to help low-income community members feed their pets.
In addition to our on-site pantry, we provide pet food to several local human food pantries in Hardwick, Monson, Palmer, Southbridge, and Wales.
We are thankful to the Walmart Community Grant, the Schwartz Charitable Foundation, the Monson Lyons Club, our corporate sponsors, and individual donors from our generous community for supporting HTAT’s Pet Food Pantry.
Who qualifies for assistance?
Qualified applicants must live in our service area (Brimfield, Holland, Palmer, Monson, Southbridge, Sturbridge, Wales, Ware, or Warren). Feeders and caretakers of any feral cats or colonies in these towns are also eligible.
You must also meet at least one of the following conditions:

Donating Food
Here Today Adopted Tomorrow happily accepts donations of wet and dry cat or dog food. You can choose items right from our Amazon wishlist or ship items directly to our shelter from Chewy, Walmart, or your favorite pet store.
If you want to drop off a food donation in person, please bring it to Here Today Adopted Tomorrow's shelter, located at 180 Sturbridge Road in Brimfield. We accept wet or dry food for both dogs and cats. Donations can be left on the front porch of the red building.
