There are a lot of reasons why you should donate pet supplies and pet food to your local pet pantry. There are many pets are going unfed every year and the numbers are rising. So here are 3 reasons why you should donate to your local pet food pantry.

Save Tax

When you donate pet supplies or pet food, it’s just the same as donating to your local thrift shop. There are taxes you save, which will give you deductions for every dollar that you contribute to a worthy cause. They do have to be registered as a non-profit for you to receive credit but just about any pet shelter that accepts donations are familiar with the process. Hopefully you won't donate just so you can get a tax write off but it sure is a nice benefit for giving something away.

Helping for the Right Cause

If you have some extra money, why not give it back? It's good for the soul and the cause is a worthy one. You are not only giving money to help pets in need, you are also giving something back to people who have devoted their lives to helping animals live and find a nice home. If you can't donate money, donate your time. There are plenty of jobs that you can do to help out your local pet pantry.

Good for Your Business

All businesses should associate themselves with a charity or good cause that they give to regularly. If you are a business owner, you should definitely consider donating to pet shelters. It looks good for your business and you can also receive tax write offs just like individuals. Also, it's a great thing that you can add to your business website.
