Financial assistance for veterinary services
At Empowered Pets And People Project, we strive to empower communities by providing access to education and resources. Our mission is to inspire individuals to achieve responsible pet ownership through financial assistance and knowledge sharing. We believe that education is the foundation for sustainable change and growth in every community.

Food Pantries for People
At Empowered Pets And People Project, we understand that financial hardship goes beyond meeting the needs of our pets. To ensure the long-term stability of keeping pets with their people, we recognize the need to provide resources for the humans who love them, too! Some human food pantries may also offer pet food.
