Alameda County Fair Pet Food Drive
Bring Pet Food to the Fair, Get In Free on June 24
Here is a fun way to do some good and save on summer plans at the same time. On Wednesday, June 24, the Alameda County Fair is hosting a Pet Food Drive to benefit Valley Humane Society, and every guest who brings a qualifying donation of unopened dog or cat food earns one free general admission until 5pm.
What to Bring
To qualify for your free admission, bring new, unopened pet food in one of these amounts:
- Cat food: 8 cans, or 1 bag of dry food (6 lbs or more)
- Dog food: 4 cans, or 1 bag of dry food (6 lbs or more)
What We Cannot Accept
To keep things running smoothly at the gate, please leave these items at home:
- Opened bags of food
- Leashes, collars, and harnesses
- Pet stairs
- Pet car seats
- Kennels and crates
- Medication
- Linens, blankets, and comforters
Where Your Donation Goes
Every item collected at the drive supports Valley Humane Society’s AniMeals Pet Food Pantry, along with other animal shelters and rescues in our area. AniMeals provides pet food to families in our community who are facing financial hardship, which helps keep beloved pets in the homes they already love instead of surrendering them during a rough stretch.
Valley Humane Society is an independent, community-based nonprofit. We receive no government funding, so community generosity like this is what makes programs like AniMeals possible. Your bag of kibble goes straight back into the Tri-Valley.
Mark Your Calendar
Remember to bring your donation to the Alameda County Fair on Wednesday, June 24 before 5pm to claim your free admission. Pack a few cans, round up the family, and we will see you at the fair.
