In honor of the 8th Annual National Feed a Rescue Pet Week (NFARPW), Greater Good Charities is celebrating the resilience of shelter pets! We are calling on our community of pet lovers to donate up to 3 million meals to rescue pets across the country. One of the biggest expenses for shelters and rescue groups is feeding the animals in their care. While an average of 6.5 million animals enter shelters each year, only 3.2 million are adopted, meaning there are more and more bellies to fill each year. For many rescues, after food costs, they have little to nothing left in their budget for medical treatment, vaccines, adoption programs or other lifesaving initiatives. That's where Greater Good Charities' GOODS Program comes in. We ship donated food to rescue groups around the country to make sure their animals are fed, and that they have extra money in their budget to help dogs and cats in desperate need. This NFARPW, YOU can save animal lives. Learn more here: https://hubs.ly/Q02FQyx60

FIELD UPDATE: Greater Good Charities' Field Operations Team is currently on the ground in Houston, Texas, supporting people and pets in need in the wake of Hurricane Beryl. The impact of Beryl is compounded now by widespread power outages and extreme heat in the region. The community is struggling and we are there to assist. We mobilized dozens of pallets of pet food to the area, plus 1,000 Good Packs full of essential human and animal supplies, which are reaching the community through distributions with our partners at Houston Humane Society. The team will be meeting with other shelters impacted by the storm and distributing additional food and supplies in the coming days. Your support makes this possible. Thank you for helping us #AmplifyTheGood in times of need. #DisasterRelief #HurricaneBeryl

Odessa is known for its architecture and warm breezes from the Black Sea. But amidst the historic stone buildings, explosions rumble and sirens wail as the city is repeatedly shelled. Despite the daily horrors of living in a war zone, a band of compassionate elderly citizens has chosen to stay and protect thousands of stray cats and dogs left behind. They are the Grandmothers of Odessa. Read their story below. #Ukraine #AmplifyTheGood https://hubs.ly/Q02DkqTy0
