Humane Pennsylvania has exceeded its goal of providing one million meals to pets in need throughout Berks and Lancaster counties and beyond in 2024, thanks to the generosity of the community.

In 2024, Humane Pennsylvania's Healthy Pets Initiative collected 365,908 pounds of pet food - equivalent to nearly 1.5 million meals. This program helps families to keep their pets happy and healthy at home.

By July 2024, Spike's Pet Food Pantry had already collected more than 177,000 pounds of food. The No Pet Hungry: Million Meal Challenge in December, along with the annual Howliday Donation Drive and partner-hosted events, added 6,300 pounds of food to the total. Humane Pennsylvania also distributed 104,396 pounds of supplies, including cat litter and other essentials.
