The People & Pets Together pet food shelf provides dog food, cat food, cat litter (when available), and other pet care items, such as toys, leashes and collars, to people who are on government assistance or meet income guidelines, and who live in our service area. We may also have a limited supply of food for birds, fish, guinea pigs, rabbits and other companion animals. We provide food for up to 4 pets per household (City of Minneapolis limit).

Our current focus is to serve people who live in the greater Powderhorn and Phillips neighborhoods of Minneapolis. People who live outside of our service area are welcome to come in for a one-time, one-month supply of pet food.

Hours:

Tuesday and Thursday: 5:30 - 8:30pm

Saturday: 9:30am - 2:30pm

No appointment is necessary. During your first visit you will be asked to complete some basic paperwork.

Please leave your pets at home when you visit our food shelf. We have a no pets policy in our space for the health and safety of all guests (service animals are welcome).
