About Stichting Dierenvoedselbank Vallei & Veluwe

Animal Food Bank Vallei en Veluwe is a charity that has been advocating for people in that region since 2016 who, together with their pet(s), live below the poverty line and are therefore unable to fully feed and maintain their pet(s). A group that often lives in social isolation and for whom the pet is of great emotional value.

We provide additional pet food and pet supplies so that owners can keep and care for their pets responsibly. We also help our customers with advice, information and education, and we mediate where necessary.

With a helpful, reliable and committed team of volunteers, we work regionally from our distribution locations in Wageningen, Ede, Renkum, Rhenen and Veenendaal. This has prevented more than 500 farewells between owner and pet for financial reasons in recent years. Animal food bank Vallei en Veluwe is a non-profit organization, but it does have ANBI status.
