Volunteer Opportunities
Overview
The PAWS Chicago Pet Food Bank is run almost completely by volunteers. We distribute thousands of pounds of donated food and supplies to families in need each month. Our PFB allows hundreds of animals a year to stay with their families instead of ending up in a shelter.
