Dry and wet dog and cat food only.  While we can accept treats, we prefer food as treats are not nutritionally adequate for meals. 
We cannot accept frozen or refrigerated products as we cannot store them. 
We receive twice the dog food that we do cat food. When in doubt, please donate cat food.

We accept pet food within one year of the sell by date. If you wouldn’t feed it to your pet, please think twice about donating it.

Because of concerns for the health and safety of the pets of our clients, we are leery of accepting open bags. If the food is in the original container and labeled with donor name and phone number, we will evaluate the food prior to discarding.

Dry food that is not within its original container cannot be accepted as we cannot check the expiration nor the recall status. Cans dented near the top or bottom seams or that have obviously been punctured are not accepted. This is for the health and safety of our clients’ pets.

We do not accept these types of donations. Consider donating to a local shelter or rescue.

If you would like to donate new slip-leads, collapsible bowls, and/or waste bags please see our Amazon Wish List as we use these items in our Maverick Fund kits. 

We need gallon-size, zipper-style plastic bags, like Ziploc®  bags. We use these for breaking down large bags of dry food into manageable sizes. You can see all our needs on our Amazon Wish List, including office supplies, etc.

While we work with other organizations to distribute pet food, Don’t Forget to Feed Me Pet Food Bank, Inc. is a stand-alone agency with our own board of directors, staff, funding, and 501(c)(3) status. DF2FM is a food bank that supplies pet food to food pantries; currently the only pet food bank in North Texas.

A food bank is the storehouse for food and other products that go out to the community. A food pantry functions as the arms that reach out to that community directly.

Yes, Don’t Forget to Feed Me is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization as recognized by the IRS. Your donation is fully tax-deductible.

If you make a monetary donation, we will send you a donation receipt via email or mail upon request.

If you donate pet food, this is considered an in-kind donation. We can issue a receipt if you supply us with your name and mailing address. Legally, we cannot assign a dollar value to goods donated in-kind. Please retain your purchase receipt for pet food donated and consult your tax professional.

Due to the tremendous need and unique service offered, we have a waitlist for new partners. Please email operations@dontforgettofeedme.org and ask for an application to be on the waitlist.
