Help Build a Community Pet Pantry

Hi! My name is Jaylyn. I am a 17-year-old high school student, and I am partnering with the Northshore Humane Society to create something to make life easier for pets and the people who love them! Not only that, but to build a place for the many donations the Humane Society receives daily!

I’m raising $1,000–$1,500 to build a weatherproof outdoor Pet Pantry where anyone can take (or leave) pet supplies for free. Anyone in need can stop by to grab dog or cat food, treats, leashes, or small essentials — no questions asked.

Why This Matters

With rising costs, many families are struggling to feed their pets. Even a small gift — a bag of food or a leash — can help keep a beloved pet at home and out of the shelter.

This pantry’s goal is to:

• Help reduce surrenders due to financial hardship

• Support local pet parents in crisis

• Spread kindness through community care

• Make space for the donations at the Humane Society

As a young person who cares deeply about animals, this is my way of giving back.

What Your Donation Supports

Every dollar will go toward:

• High-quality wood, plexiglass, and roofing

• Durable outdoor hardware and sealants

• Paint and signage to make it visible and friendly

• A secure mounting system

• Starter supplies like food, bowls, or collars

Goal: $1,000-$1,500

If we raise more, the extra funds will go toward keeping the pantry stocked or straight to the Humane Society!
