In times of natural disaster, Purina’s goal is to provide timely support to pets and people in need.
Following the devastation of Hurricane Helene, Purina announced a $25,000 donation to Greater Good Charities to support the organization’s rescue response, a news release states.
The donation helped fund emergency relief, including food, medical supplies and hygiene kits to individuals displaced by the storm, as well as transport shelter pets to safety.
Now with Hurricane Milton, the needs are even greater.
Purina continues to support communities impacted by the storms by shipping in over 1,700 tons (helping fill 130 truckloads) of Purina pet food and cat litter to provide for the thousands of shelter animals and displaced pets due to the recent hurricanes.
The Purina wet food facility in Allentown contributed to this sizable donation, delivering 40,000 cases of pet care products, including Beneful and Pro Plan products.
Purina established operations in Allentown in 1994 and currently employs a team of 560 local associates.
