Helping pets and owners stay together
In addition to meeting the needs of the humans in their households, many families on the South Shore are also doing their best to care for their pets. People often share their own limited food resources with their pets and sometimes feel that pet surrender is their only option.
For many years, we partnered with the South Shore Pet Food Pantry (SSPFP) to provide supplemental cat and dog food assistance to clients. Unfortunately, as of Nov. 1, 2025, they have closed their operations.
We are now referring clients to the City of Quincy Animal Care Center and their new Pet Food Pantry. They provide pet food and supplies to help keep pets happy, healthy, and at home.
Interfaith no longer distributes pet food of any kind.
Pet Food Donations
We encourage donors to give pet food donations to the Quincy Animal Care Center Pet Food Pantry. Please contact them at (508) 936-3663 or marcidoherty@quincyma.gov to schedule the donation.
** We are unable to accept donations of pet food at Interfaith. **
Additional Resources
The City of Quincy Animal Care Center has a pet food bank, available to local residents. It is located at 99 Quarry St., Quincy, MA. The pantry has limited hours of operation and is not open every day. Please call ahead and leave voicemail to schedule an appointment. They stock both wet and dry cat and dog food and residents of Quincy, Braintree, Milton, Randolph, Holbrook and Weymouth are eligible for one food pickup per month.
Please call or text (508) 936-3663 or email marcidoherty@quincyma.gov for inquiries on pickups or information on how to donate to this program.
