Volunteer at the Pet Food Pantry

On October 4, 2020, the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, Church of the Nativity, located at 7300 Lantern Road, opened a Pet Food Pantry for those with pets who find themselves struggling to feed their pet due to financial hardship. Particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, Nativity felt there was an urgent need to provide support for those who might consider surrendering their pet to a shelter.

”The Stable” is open the second Saturday of every month from 10 am-12:30 pm. It is located in the the trailer adjacent to the church. Dry dog food, dry cat food, and kitty litter are available free of charge. A vet tech is also available for gland expression, and nail clipping for a goodwill offering.

Donations are welcome, and can either be dropped off at the church at anytime (the 24 hour chapel is always open, and is checked daily), or through shipments from Chewy, Amazon, or other on-line services. They can be mailed to The Stable at Church of the Nativity-Episcopal, 7300 Lantern Road, Indianapolis, IN 46256. You are also free to drop of donations when The Stable is open.

The Stable is operated by volunteers. YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE A MEMBER OF THE CHURCH TO VOLUNTEER. Volunteers must be at least 8 years of age, and children must be accompanied by a parent. To learn more or sign up for the volunteer calendar, visit the Nativity website.
