In an effort to meet the community’s needs during the COVID-19 health crisis, Pet Pantry Warehouse has partnered with many of its premium pet food brands to offer Pet One Member discounts to all customers in addition to raising money through sales for local COVID-19 relief funds.
Hundreds of Pet Pantry items are now on sale. Sale prices are pre-programmed and already reflected in the retail prices visible on the online ordering site and in the Pet Pantry point of sale system. “Every time a customer purchases a bag of food, treats, or supplies on sale from a participating brand, that company will be matching the discount amount and making a contribution in ‘Donatable Dollars.’ This is a win-win for everyone. Our customers get to shop hundreds of items on sale, receive discounts on the items purchased and help us donate within their community,” said Adam Jacobson, Pet Pantry Warehouse Executive Vice President.
Last month Pet Pantry transitioned its brick and mortar in-store sales model to a curbside pick-up system through phone orders and just recently launched an all-new online sales platform. The family business, celebrating 75 years serving the community, was designated an “essential” business by New York and Connecticut state in March.
Among the various relief funds that will receive money through this campaign is the Greenwich United Way, New Canaan Community Foundation’s COVID-19 Response Fund, Al’s Angels, Operation Hope, United Way of Westchester and Putnam, and United Way of Coastal Fairfield County. Jacobson is in the process of reaching out to other organizations in Fairfield and Westchester County.
During this critical time, the Pet Pantry team understands the need for pet foster homes and is working with Petcurean to help those opening their homes to new animals during this uncertain time. In an effort to provide quality food for temporary and/or new four-legged family members, Pet Pantry has already donated 50 “Welcome Waggin Kits” to Pet Rescue NY. These kits will be given to anyone who chooses to adopt or foster during the health crisis.
Also running throughout the year on a monthly basis, Pantry Warehouse is hosting a photo contest through its social media platforms (@ppwpet). Each month a member of the Pet Pantry Executive team is selecting a winner to receive a $75 PPW gift card. There’s no cost to enter and the giveaway is not affiliated with any of its social media platforms.
