Christmas for the Animals
A wonderful opportunity to support the Bannock Humane Society! Join us for a festive celebration where your contributions can help improve the lives of animals in need. This event promises to be filled with joy, community spirit, and a chance to make a positive impact.
Winter is here!
Shannon Leavitt and her family will be at Albertsons on December 11, 12, & 13, 2025 asking shoppers to purchase pet food for the BHS Pet Food Pantry.
Please, Help Us … Help Them!! by buying a couple of bags of pet food (or cans) to help Shannon and the BHS feed hungry animals this winter!
Why?
For people and their pets it is a difficult time coping with cold stormy weather and higher utility bills. Sometimes folks are challenged deciding how to feed their families: both the human and the furry family.
Fortunately, the Bannock Humane Society has a Pet Food Pantry Program which offers pet food on the third Wednesday every month from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m.
The catch is … who supplies the food? Who works to ensure there is food for the cold winter months on the pantry shelves?
Who thoughtfully and kindly donates their valuable time and energies to asking shoppers at Albertsons to purchase a bag of pet food to place on the shelves of the BHS Pet Food Pantry?
Who and Her Team!
Shannon Leavitt is the who! For the past eleven years, with her family, Shannon has filled the shelves of the BHS Pet Food Pantry Program every Christmas to help people feed their companion animals during the winter months.
Shannon, and her family, organize the community driven Christmas food donation project at Albertsons on Benton. Albertsons’ community support of the project is also key as shelves must be filled with pet food for shoppers purchasing multiple bags and cans of pet food (Albertson’s personnel are kept busy ensuring the shelves are filled … no small feat.)
Supportive & kind shoppers then donate the pet food to Shannon who fills baskets, boxes and trucks to deliver to the Bannock Humane Society. Her act of concern and kindness is the greatest of gifts in a time of need. The impact rippling to many throughout the Pocatello / Chubbuck communities. The drive is held for three days! In 2025 it will be on December 11, 12, and 13…
Those in need of feeding their cats and dogs may pick up pet food on the 3rd Wednesday of the month between 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. at the Bannock Humane Society, 850 Barton Road.
