The Brandywine Valley SPCA (BVSPCA) has teamed up with Terra Technical Services to hold two drive-thru pet food pantries to help families in need.

Free pet food will be available at a drive-thru Thursday, April 23, 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Chester Township Municipal Building, 1150 Engle Street in Chester.

A second drive-thru pantry takes place Wednesday, April 22, 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., at Coatesville Area Senior High School, 1445 Lincoln Highway E, Coatesville.

Participants must arrive in a vehicle. Brandwine Valley SPCA staff will maintain a six-foot distance as they ask for information on household pets. Pet food will then be loaded in the trunk or hatchback.

Food is available for cats and dogs while supplies last.

“So many families are facing sudden, unexpected financial challenges during this pandemic, and they need their pets by their side now more than ever,” said Adam Lamb, BVSPCA CEO. “We’re grateful to our friends at Terra, Chester Township and the Coatesville School District for helping us reach many of those families.”

Food storage and transport has been provided by Terra, along with collaboration on pantry logistics.

Donations to help supply pet food to families in need can be made here.
