PSI's Hungry Bowl Pet Food Drive

'Tis the Season for Giving!

As we enter the 2011 holiday season, PSI is asking all members to join us for a worthwhile cause—Pet Sitters International’s Hungry Bowl™ campaign—an international pet food drive on Dec. 1.

PSI is asking members to organize pet food drives in their communities to benefit a local shelter or rescue group of their choice.

PSI members collected more than 26,000 pounds of pet food last year!

We'd love to collect even more for shelters and pet-rescue groups in need this year.

Check out the results of last year's Hungry Bowl Pet Food Drive.

To help you organize and promote a local Hungry Bowl Pet Food Drive, PSI is providing you with this resource page, including instructions for organizing your pet food drive and promotional materials to help spread the word in your community.

We look forward to highlighting member participation and Hungry Bowl pet food drive results on petsit.com and in upcoming issues of The Pet Sitter's WORLD and The Scoop monthly e-Newsletter.

Organizing a Hungry Bowl pet food drive in your area allows you to:

• Establish community ties
• Network with local shelters and businesses
• Align your business with a philanthropic effort
• Promote your business in highly-trafficked drop-off locations
• Garner positive media attention for the drive and your business
• And, most importantly, make a difference in the lives of local shelter pets!

Please take advantage of the following resources to assist you in your planning:
