No one should have to choose between feeding themselves and feeding their pet. That's why the Petstock Foundation's Big Hearts Project is back this August.
We're on a mission to raise $25,000 to provide in-kind pet food donations to Kiwi families and their pets when they need it most.
$2 provides a meal for a pet in need.
For the second year running, we're proud to partner with the New Zealand Food Network, who distribute these essential pet food donations to organisations across the country who support families experiencing food insecurity. Together, we're helping ease the pressure on households doing it tough, so they can keep their pets fed and by their side.
Donate in-store or online today. Every donation will make a difference. Together, we can create a big impact!

Your donation makes a difference
“For many in our community, a furry friend offers precious companionship and comfort - especially for those facing challenges or living alone. This donation makes a real difference, helping stretched households keep their beloved pets fed and healthy.”
- NZFN Food Hub, Gizzy Kai Rescue (Gisborne)
“One of our clients, currently living in her car with a dog, a cat, and three kittens, was moved to tears receiving pet food. Her animals are her family, and lifting the burden of feeding them means everything. It’s brought real joy to an otherwise dire situation.”
- Christian Social Services Whanganui supported by NZFN Food Hub, City Mission Whanganui (Manawatū-Whanganui)
New Zealand Food Network
New Zealand Food Network rescues quality surplus food and redistributes it through a trusted network of food hubs and charities across Aotearoa.
Each month, they deliver the equivalent of more than 1.7 million meals to 64 charitable organisations, including those serving some of New Zealand's most remote communities.
Their reach, expertise and community connections help ensure the pet food funded through Big Hearts, Big Impact gets to the families and pets who need it most. Together, we're extending the reach of every donation and helping keep pets fed and families supported.
"Last year, we helped deliver more than 10,000 meals to pets in need, and this year we're committed to helping even more pets with the help of generous Kiwis who are able to spare a $2 donation."
