Mission
The mission of Don’t Forget to Feed Me (DF2FM) is to supply pet food to local agencies in support of pet owners while educating the public about pet food insecurity. By providing pet food for those in need during challenging financial times and increasing awareness, we offer an alternative to surrendering —or worse, abandoning—a family pet. Don’t Forget to Feed Me helps to ensure that no pet owner must choose between stay…or go.
About Us
DF2FM is the only social service agency in the DFW Metroplex focused solely on assisting pet owners with pet food. By keeping our focus on a single issue, we can address this specific need efficiently and quickly. DF2FM does not attempt to duplicate services offered by other organizations or agencies.
Many local agencies focus on ensuring that humans have adequate food and nutrition; however, we hear repeatedly from those organizations that pet owners will often choose to go without food to ensure their companion animals are fed. The need to provide pet food to pet owners experiencing economic uncertainty is real and immediate. By providing pet owners with pet food, DF2FM ensures not only that owners are able to feed themselves, but also that pets receive food that is nutritionally appropriate for animals.
Additionally, many local agencies help pet owners with veterinary needs, such as spaying/neutering and vaccinations. Other local agencies are concerned with ensuring that homeless animals are adopted into “forever homes.” These agencies address real needs and provide valuable services to the community; however, without access to proper pet food, their efforts will all be for naught. If pet owners are unable to feed their animals, those animals will end up in shelters – or on the streets – anyway. By providing pet owners with pet food, DF2FM helps relieve stress on shelters, rescues, and local animal control.

History
The economic crisis of 2008 caused many families to face extreme hardships. Many were forced to choose between feeding their family and feeding the family pet. Two area women were brought together by a common goal: keep pets with their families. A committee was formed in the fall, and, working through the Tarrant Area Food Bank, DF2FM launched an inaugural Valentine pet food drive in February 2009.
DF2FM quickly grew, and in September 2010, set up independent office space at the Community Food Bank. In 2011 DF2FM received its unique 501c3 status.
After 10 years of service, the organization began to outgrow its space. In 2018, DF2FM moved into its own facility. This move provided more warehouse and office space, allowing the organization to make an even greater difference in the community.
As of 2024 DF2FM has distributed over 12-million no cost pet meals to the community.
