Donation Drives

Check out current and past drives

We hold donation drives every few months to gather food and supplies to deliver to our shelter partners.

Three ways you can help us make a difference:

1. Check out our Amazon wish list and pick items you'd like to donate

2. Make a financial donation - a little goes a long way - $20 can purchase 30 lbs of dog food that can be distributed to 30 clients! Take advantage of corporate match - we are on BENEVITY and listed as "Strength in Paws, Inc."

3. Organize a corporate community service event, assemble care kits that will bring relief and joy to unhoused pets. We make it easy by providing a list of items to include.

SUMMER 2026 Supply Drive

Our local chapter of the National League of Young Men has been a big partner to Strength in Paws, Inc. The Class of 2026 Young Men chose to do their last philanthropy event for us - a supply drive and care kit assembly.

Thank you to these young men and we hope you continue to give back in college and beyond!

Spring 2026 Care Kits
A special thank you to:

We are excited to share our first corporate donor! Infoblox found us online and wanted to organize a corporate service project with us. They put together thoughtful care kids that included hygiene items, blankets, toys, and more. Samaritan House was grateful to receive these kits as they are perfect for giving to unhoused clients and pets - easy to take and so many useful things. Thank you, Inflobox!

Reach out to us at info.strengthinpaws@gmail.com if your corporation is looking for a fun and easy community project!

Winter 2025 Supply Drive

Thank you for supporting our Winter 2025 Donation Drive! More than 300 pounds of dog food and 100 bags of treats and toys were delivered to Samaritan House for unhoused pets, thanks to your support!

Special 2025 Drive - LA Fire Victims

Thank you for your support! We recently delivered 3 boxes of dog and cat toys to CAMP-LA for their mobile clinic which serves animals throughout LA county, including those impacted by the LA Fires.

SUMMER 2024 Donation Drive - thank you!

Extra thanks to the San Mateo-Foster City chapter of the National League of Young Men for volunteering to assemble care packages with us!

Thanks to you, we assembled 100 care packages for dogs and cats who are unhoused or at risk of being unhoused here in San Mateo county! Care packages included dog or cat food, hygiene items like toothbrushes, leashes/collars, fleece blankets, and of course - treats and toys!

Here we are dropping off care packages to Samaritan House in South San Francisco (not pictured: donations that went to Project We Hope in East Palo Alto).

SPRING 2024 Donation Drive - our FIRST one!

Thanks to our community, we collected and gave out 31 bags of kibble, almost 100 cans of dog food, 30 bags of dog treats, 16 hygiene items (toothbrushes, brushes, paw ointment), 8 cooling mats, almost 30 different sized collars, 50 different leashes/harnesses, more than 70 dog toys and a ton of tennis balls! For our feline friends, we gathered and gave out 135 cans of cat food, 10 bags of cat treats, 10 cat collars, and almost 70 cat toys (including what I imagine will be a sought after laser pointer).

All donations went to Samaritan House in San Mateo and Project WeHOPE in East Palo Alto!
