Pet Food Distribution - F.A.Q.
What is the Pet Food Distribution Program?
The ARRF Pet Food Distribution Program supports the pet rescue community with regional pet food distribution pods. The Pet Food Distribution Program makes it possible for rescue organizations to provide much needed services and care such as spay/neuter or other medical bills.
Who can apply?
Any 501(c)(3) pet rescue organization. Please contact your local regional area to apply for affiliate membership.
What is needed for eligibility?
Minimum eligibility is a 501(c)(3) registered status of your organization. Other conditions apply and each application is subject to review and pre-approval.
How does it work?
1. You first need to apply to become an affiliate member. Once you are a pre-approved affiliate member, you will receive email notifications about the distribution events available in your region.
2. If you would like to be included in a distrubution event, you should reply to the notification by submitting a Request for Distribution.
3. If you qualify to receive a distribution, you will be invited to the regional distribution center for the distribution event where you can come and pick up the food. We will notify you about when and where the distrubution event will take place as well as provide the shipping costs that your organization will be required to reimburse ARRF.
How can I apply?
You may apply online by completing the online form, or by downloading the Affiliate Food Distribution Agreement and submit it to ARRF by fax or email. All applications are subject to pre-approval.
What happens after I apply?
Once you are approved, your organization must submit an Affiliate Food Distribution Agreement form for each food distribution request. You may submit a new application and request a distribution on the same request form, if necessary.
